Well.. how abuot using many (fast) thyristors or mosfets in series?
Series using *is* possible with very carefull design. Anyone given that
a greater thought?

Thyristors could easily handle high peak currents. For fast switching
they are still not as good as mosfets. Then, of couse there probably
is quite few high current high voltage (say 1-2kV) capable GTOs
around somewhere..
