Maybe a krytron? If you are able to get one anyway. ;)
that was my first thought.. or some form of triggered sparkgap
Went and looked up the data sheet for a KN6
Their rise time isn't that fast, what sets them apart from other high
current switching devices is that they are low jitter, while switching
high currents. Driving them is a pain (they need moderate high voltage,
etc.). Switching hundreds of amps with tens of ns jitter is useful in
some applications, but in time nuts terms, not so wonderful.

If you are building up something, you probably want a SRD (step
recovery diode) or tunnel diode. But both may be hard to find and
expensive these days.
Step recovery diodes are very similar in construction to varactor
diodes so the later can be used in step recovery applications with
qualification.
I have also seen the 1N4148 used as a step recovery diode when driven
by an avalanche pulser but I do not know if it was qualified.
