What did those bolts do? Hulk took gun fire up to .50 caliber rounds, grenades, Stark sonic canons, and a fully armed gun-ship crashing into him. He also took punches from Abomination that were (from hands) strong enough to catch a missle and explode it without injury.
Most of the damage that the Hulk withstood were intended to damage by concussive force. Also, force generated by explosives disperse exponentially over an area/space.
The electric blasts from Doom possess extremely high temperatures, that are also concentrated into a single beam. Without effort, Doom was able to generate a blast that burnt a clean hole through someone. While fighting Richards, his blasts were also melting metal bars upon contact.
So difference between what Hulk was shown to survive, and Doom's blast:
- Concussive vs High Heat
- Dispersive Force vs Concentrated Beam
Also such a powerful electric shock will disrupt nerve function inducing involuntary spasms as well as causing the victim to be unable to perform any controlled coordinated movement. Shocks of a sufficiently high current will also lead to cardiac arrest and death.
BTW, will power does not allow one to overcome the neurological effects of an electric shock.

Regarding Doom's metal body composition - it is definitely more durable than any other substance on Earth (except maybe adamantium), since it was able to withstand the temperatures of the sun. Doom's biological body system was also subjected to the same heat, and yet he survived.
I think Hulk would have been vaporized if he was thrown into the sun.
