Exactly. At 60Hz (or 120Hz in some voltage multiplying rectifier circuits) the only diode specs that matter are the peak inverse voltage and current, and if your replacements are as good or higher rated they will do fine...Heck if no solar or nuclear EMPs occur in the next century they will probably outlast the seleniums.
