RE: Matching diodes in a 'diamond' diode rectifier?

Yes, the configuration where a center tapped transformer or two secondaries in series to make a CT is what it sounded maybe like. That config has the ground at the center tap and the Bridge rectifiers output is now plus and minus Voltage with respect to ground.
Note sure a tiny difference in on threshold makes any difference once one has more than a couple volts being rectified. Are you making a bridge out of separate diodes?

There diodes that have a lower threshold V than generic silicon diodes if that matters, look for "shottkey" diodes
