The circuitry which charges the cap contains a timed circuit which governs the amount of power that can be stored in the capacitor.

No the power supply will charge the cap to a preset voltage which based upon the capacity of the cap determines the amount of power that can be utilized.

So even if you did use a much larger cap it wont change much other then providing greater theoretical output capacity.

In a modern flash adding additional capacity, if the power supply can handle the additional load/charge time, will provide for more flashes before the cap is discharged to the point it cannot trigger the tube.
