Many decades ago had a similar issue with a small experimental wind turbine.
The problem with the bridge rectifier outputs in parallel is that at any instant only the coil with the highest voltage will deliver any current. The ones with a lower voltage can't drive any current into a higher voltage.
On mine I reconnected the rectifier outputs in series, each with it's own capacitor across its output.
Now the current was a little less but the voltage was the sum of the individual voltages. Now too high for the battery so used a buck converter to reduce it and increase the current.
The end result was significantly more power.
