If you can insulate the Peltier elements, it would generally be easier

just rectify and filter the 120VAC, or preferably work up a PFC front
end to provide both regulation and an input current waveform that
doesn't trip out every breaker you connect it to .... or else rethink
the project or the budget.


The filter needs to be pretty good, otherwise the quickly fluctuating
temperatures cause mechanical stresses which severly reduce the
lifespan of the Peltier elements.


That's bollocks. You'll have to have a huge LF ripple to kill your TECs.
Any decently (read not completly screwed) designed PWM supply will give you as long a lifespan as a DC battery.
