Yes you could. It would be crazy and a complete waste of time and effort.
These are almost certainly signal diodes.
The volt drop thing is not as big an issue as often claimed unless you have some decent way of matching the load. If you are really worried then use schottkys. At one time I had lots of Power germanium diodes capable of 50A. They were fine but made no significant difference to output. Those little things will not share current and will give endless trouble.
It's always tempting to use things that are free, but it usually turns out rather expensive in the end with wasted time.
