I doubt anyone is going to reassure you that this will be a success. I think we already have reason to believe, from reports, that the power components of the Brewtus have not been excessively engineered, meaning that they did not specify power components that had an amp rating well above the expected load. But maybe I am wrong about that.
One thing is for sure: if you make the modification, you will find out the answer to your question. And, if you find that the answer if "no", and it does not burn down your house, you can substitute high amperage components for those that fail as each failure takes place and is diagnosed. Personally I would not do it. I would prefer to buy a new machine that (hopefully) has been engineered for the increased power consumption.
