Would it be possible to arc it over an air gap? I.e. allow the energy be dissipated over the resistance of the air? I have no idea whether the power numbers work out, and maybe you'd need to step up the voltage, which adds complexity. Just a thought..

Interesting idea. I think you won't be able to dissipate enough heat this way, but I'm not sure.
