Gen7 1N4004 can it be replaced by NTE125 ?

I did it again I did another order from mouser because I needed resistors and stuff and I realized that last time I accidently just ordered two diodes and well this time I forgot. the question is can I replace the diode 1n4004 with an NTE125 I got plenty of those you see. But I know while sometimes it's alright to just substitue with a bigger diode (well there both rated 1amp but the nte can handle higher voltages) Some times the diodes are choosen for a particular purpose and one specific quality that may or may not be present in the other one.
the nte125 can handle a maximum surge for 1 cycle of 50A while the 1n4004 can only handle 30 A for one cycle. I dunno I would like some input because it seems to me this diode overmatches a bit.
Would like some input from those here that know more than me because going out to radioshack and spending less than 2 bucks is not a big deal, but if it's possible to use these I got like over 20 that otherwise would stay in that drawer for ages.
so it would be free to me which is better and less walking involved LOL

Bigger diodes will work and walking keeps you helathy.
