As you say, across two parallel resistors the current divides between them, but the voltage drop across any parallel combination is the same. In your analogy you could define the voltage from the rectifier as a constant, and the current draw from the supply is subject to change dependent on the total resistance load. When you combine multiple parallel loads in series they each form their own voltage drop according.
