Turn key, no lights, no power, battery at +13.5v

Being that you are getting 13.5 volts at your battery most likely your rectifier isn't the culprit because if it was your battery would be dead. If you're certain that all your fuses are good(and it seems like you are) I would lean more towards a loose connection at your battery cables.

then you were lucky...every other horror story I have heard including my own have put the battery dying on a ride. Even so the rectifier is just the voltage regulator for the stator just like the alternator in a car. So if the bike won't even turn on the rectifier is highly unlikely to be related if you have a charge on the battery

went through a similar ordeal. my rectifier fried itself, and the wires to it. bike was still running though.
I assume your battery reads 13+ with the bike off. what does it read with your key in the on position? if it is below 12 your battery is dead.
can you jump or bump start your bike? if so what is the voltage at the terminals, if it is above 16 you need a new rectifier. (note if your rectifier is bad you can damage another battery in under a minute when using it to jump your bike)
just picked up one of these new off ebay for 110. Charging System Diagnostics - Rectifier/Regulator Upgrade - Triumph Forum: Triumph Rat Motorcycle Forums
