Dave,

Mike F is correct. Can you use the zener to regulate a pass transistor?

Maybe putting in a series low ohmage resistor with each like when paralleling transistors or batteries. Why go the Zener route? There are so many better ways of getting high voltage and power from other solid state devices. 73 - Mike
