In Europe you can get toroidal transformes for any secondary voltage, that is the easy part, the 5.4A rating is most probably the long term current the motor can withstand, peak current will be much higher so the drives are usually 20A or 30A rated, hence the power supply must be rated accordingly, in your case at a guess at least 60A transformer and rectifier. Or have 2 of the big motors on one power supply and 4 smaller on another power supply, at 30A to 40A each are easier to manage and find and might even be cheaper. You might easily make do with much less as it is a small weight, and use moderate accelerations.
Does the control box have power info on it? Should be in KW,
Yes, two toroid supplies might be the best solution. Note that these transformers can be overloaded for short intervals, and that the PWM servo amps are switching power supplies, so that power input is just a little over power out, so they can deliver large output currents when the motor is moving slowly, while drawing MUCH smaller current from the DC supply.
