    Toroidal transformers are generally more efficient so it's hard to see how 2 non-toroidal types could fit in the same space.. Have you tried electronics suppliers like RS, Rapid and Maplin ? If you get the right voltages, the current output can be bigger as long as the transformer fits in the space available.
