Zener orientation question

I want to put a Zener diode at the start of the B+ line. I have a few here. They don't have a band around but rather a notch at one end.

Now what direction should the notch face? The rectifier diodes... or the rest of the amp?

Thank you you butch amp addicts. :P

Not familiar with that package. What's the number on it.. It's more than likely the cathode so you'd put it towards the tranny. In other words backwards compared to a rectifier. BUT lets get that package figured out first.
