IIRC, the Quark has two 330uF 35v caps. Adding 2 more 330uF caps would bring the total capacitance up to 1320uF. Better yet, use three 220uF caps - same overall value but should handle the current better and the increased overall surface area will help with heat. It might be difficult to add three more caps close to the input and still have short leads and not look like crap. Two should be fairly easy though.
