Why ?

Why wouldn't the 16VAC @2.7A rated Triad VPS16-2700 in your present design not be sufficient for a 12VDC regulated supply, especially with lower voltage drop Schottky diodes, low drop-out voltage 3-terminal regulator, and significantly lower current draw than the transformer's rated 2.7A for 16VAC. I don't see a need for going with an 18VAC secondary on the transformer.
