Jan,

Sure, you can rectify a NST.  Probably best to use a bridge rectifier, which
will conduct on both positive and negative swings of the secondary.  A half
or full wave circuit will not load each half of the secondary every other
half cycle, which will cause the unloaded peak voltage to be high which can
lead to premature insulation breakdown and NST death.
