Try using a transformer connected to the power mains. Follow that with a fullwave rectifier and current-limiting resistor. Highly reliable and very fast. It could fill your 440-joule bank in a very few seconds.
When choosing a transformer, note the square-root-of-two conversion factor between AC and DC. This is due to charging caps up to the peak voltage, while AC is specified in RMS voltage.
That is, to get 330v DC then all you need is a transformer output of (330)/(1.414) = 233v AC. Fortunately a common transformer size is 220v secondary output.

Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?
