Too high or too low capacitance values may make the DC supply unstable. It depends on the voltage ratings of the capacitor and the power supply - and how much current the power supply can deliver. If the the power supply voltage is higher than the rated voltage of the capacitor, then the capacitor will be damaged.
The capacitor should be situated next to the load to provide a low impedance source. A power supply (or battery for portable equipment) is used to charge the capacitor to a set voltage. There are two ways of charging a capacitor: using a fixed voltage power supply or using a supply that is capable of providing a constant current.
What is not shown is that the input must contain a diode or similar component, so if the input voltage is lower than the capacitor plate voltage then the capacitor does not discharge back into the power supply. (I'm 20 years past A-levels and still find the marking schemes obtuse, they're simplified beyond the point of understanding)
Using an off-the-shelf constant voltage power supply to charge a capacitor can cause problems. When the power supply is initially connected to the capacitor, it will try to deliver its maximum allowable current and probably go into an overload condition.
It is fine to connect them when the output voltage of the supply and the voltage across the capacitor are close to each other. If they are not close to each other, you may get a spark at the moment you connect them. The spark can suprise you with the amount of energy it delivers.
The power rating and the capacitance are two important aspects to be considered while selecting the smoothing capacitor. The power rating must be greater than the off load output voltage of the power supply.
