Is there another way to modify your 12V PSU to output 5V? Maybe if the transformers have other "taps" on the low voltage coil which output 6~7V, you could replace the linear regulator with a 5V equivalent? Could be a little tricky finding a linear regulator with high current output but low dropout voltage, I certainly can't suggest one, but my knowledge of linear regulator models is limited.
