Okay, so you're vastly overestimating the pulse width.  Since you don't 
seem to care very much about that, why do you need such a high peak 
current?  Your 150 nJ at 4.2V comes out to 1.7 nF, which would discharge 
in 1 us with only 7 mA.

Getting up to 10 A would a pulse width of 700 ps.  Kind of unlikely.

Cheers
