RMS of AC = RMS of rectified AC. The Mooshimeter is giving the correct result. (Imagine the square of an AC signal. Now imagine the square of a rectified AC signal. They are the same.)
Only when you add the capacitor (with no load) does the voltage become DC, with a value equal to the peak AC voltage. Again the Mooshimeter is giving the correct result.
