OK, I just reread this and see a problem or two. the first is that you said " I have two transformer with a center tap voltage of 1100 Volts @ 1 amp and 150 Volts." I take that to mean that you have two transformers and EACH has a centre tap with a voltage of 1100 volts when you apply 150 volts to the primary. First why apply 150 volts when the normal AC line is 120, second what is the secondary voltage with normal 120 volts applied to the primary, and lastly if the centre tap is 1100 volts that means the overall output voltage is 2200 volts for EACH transformer.

The other problem is that if you have a secondary voltage of 2200 volts in whatever configuration you end up with then the filtered DC voltage will be about 3110 volts unloaded and will likely only drop a couple hundred volts at most under load depending on the filter capacitor value.
