I was recently told that if rectify the 120VAC mains voltage and then add a capacitor to smooth out the wave, I will then have something around 167 VDC. Is this true? If it is true, what is the easiest way to get a smooth 120V DC voltage?

yes.
 120 * 1.414 = 169.68

 to get smooth 120, use a regulator after the
fact.

oh well.
