If the caps are after the diode, then they store the dc pulses.

Two caps in parallel is just like putting two batteries in parallel, they will store more electrons and be able to produce more current when discharged.
If you want to prove the big bang theory, put many caps in parallel, unplug from the 120vac and see how many metal particles come off the tip of your screwdriver when you short out the caps.
