if you exceed the max forward current the depletion region will become too small and will no longer allow any voltage through. it will also cause the diode to begin breaking down and will result in the death of the component.
It is the rated maximum current that can be taken from the transformer. This is equal to the VA rating divided by the output voltage. So a 6 kVA 240 v transformer would have a maximum current rating of 6000/240 or 25 amps.

Maximum power rating describes the maximum power at which a device can operate without reaching an excessive temperature. For example, in the case of a resistor, if its maximum power rating is exceeded, then it may burn out.
The maximum current rating of a standard plug, such as a North American NEMA 5-15 plug commonly used for household appliances, is typically around 15 amps. This rating is based on the wire gauge and other components used in the plug design to safely carry current without overheating or causing a fire hazard. It is important to always check the manufacturer's specifications and adhere to local electrical codes to ensure safe operation.
Divide VA rating with the Voltage and get Amp rating. So say you have a transformer that delivers 26V, 80VA, that means a maximum current of 80/26=3.07A for a resistive load.
There are two diode ratings. One is the forward current rating, and the other is the reverse breakdown voltage rating. The forward current rating is the maximum current that the diode can conduct before failing, and the reverse breakdown voltage rating is the maximum reverse voltage that can be applied before failing. Of course, the reverse voltage rating has a different meaning in a zener diode, but this answer applies to ordinary diodes.
The maximum current rating for a 20A wire gauge is 20 amperes.
