I have no clue on building a toroidal PSU!! lol so would need a touch of help there!
Yes, I had a feeling you were stuck with 23's hence why didn't push 34's which would be the better option.

Regards the Drives and PSU then those you linked can use AC so all you would need is Transformer the drives will do the AC/DC conversion so don't need Caps and Bridge rectifier. However I prefer to use DC supply as I feel it takes some of the stress off the drives and can have little bit more smoothing.
This will work for you either way. Just add Caps and Bridge rectifier if want to go with DC.
