STK730-020 is rated at 8 amp (145 watt) and a STK730-030 is rated at 3 amp (180 watt). The numbering system does not make any sense. Try a -020 or -080. The regulator does normally run quite hot but should always be "touchable". Do you have a way to measure the temperature? The data sheets are readily available on line except for the -130 and -150.
