I am in favor of this terminal strip way of doing it that Bill has presented because this is basically how Peavey did it in a bunch of there amps when using just a plain black epoxy cased diode,
What they did since there heat sink was a long Aluminum L bracket that sat on top of the circuit board then was bolted to the amp chassis , all they did was to drill a hole in the L bracket and the body of the diode was just centered in that drilled hole. In fact it was only in contact with the wall of that hole by maybe 35% of the body of the diode and that was all that was needed.
I would post a picture here if we could do such on this site, but I think you get the jist of what Bill was saying to do.
