Keep in mind that you have to start with a supply that stays
at least 2 volts above the regulated output, even at the
bottom of the ripple and at low line voltage, so you will
need a significant extra voltage at the input supply.

I suspect you might be able to get by with sufficientShould I regulate the output? How about a voltage regulator IC like
the LM317?
