I didn't take notice there was no cap, but I suspect with no filter cap you're working the CL6 pretty hard, that's another issue. However, for command with a bridge, I think it would be mandatory to have a heatsink on that chip in any case. Even with just a diode and cap I think you'd need the heatsink. Running the CL6 at 60°C above ambient is getting close to it's shutdown limit, and that would be if you only dissipated one watt in the device!
