The snare that will punch shit out of you

Is it advised to use distortion on snare´s punch?(in terms of layers it would be the lowest layer in 200-400Hz region) For me it sounds like it is enhancing the punch but at the same time it may sound weird?

if i have a low layer in a snare i try to keep it as clean as possible no fx.
if i do i use a send channel with reverb on it to mix wet n dry.
if it sounds weird then best not keep that fx on.

this is just me though im still learning as im sure you have read before theres no txt book rule really
