I use an ATX power supply for my c64c  Lots of amps for 5v and 12v there.
9VAC is unfortunately provided by a brick whose 5v regulator gave up the
gost, but it does have the advantage of providing 9vac standby power to
turn the atx psu on:

C64 provides 9vdc unregulated to a relay to /poweron for the atx psu.  This
fires up the atx psu, which provides power to my drives, uiec, and the
c64's primary 5v supply.  Power off is delayed to allow me to power cycle
the c64 without flashing power to everything else on the system.
