with L101=1.5R at 12V there is a theoretical peak current of more than 4A (12-5.6)/1.5, peaking to more than 25W 4*(12-5.6), so 5W might not be sufficient.
1N5368B (47V, 5W) states max surge current 2.7A????
Another concern when considering paralleling ever-larger devices is going to be the extra capacitance of those larger diodes across the RF output, especially in the higher bands.??
