Ripple current in a cap usually means that that caps primary duty is not so much to filter DC as it is to pass large amounts of AC power along to somewhere else. Some B+ doubler circuits the main B+ cap does double duty and is there to handle large AC current and filter DC.
Do wish they canister cap had it's main function noted and more about it's specs.
