This is a typical MOC wiring diagram, nothing needs to be changed. Only now the BT139 triac will not pull 20A ( datasheet ) You need something more powerful .
It's worth a try ("experience is the son of difficult mistakes") Do not forget safety precautions!
Without a huge radiator, the triac will burn out at 20A. Approximately 1.3V falls on the simistor, the thermal resistance of the TO220 case is 62 deg / W.
