This question is difficult to answer. If GW behave like "normal" waves, obstacles in the inner Fresnel zone are the main nuisance. The diameter of possible objects should be smallerlarger than $\lambda/10$. Even big stars are smaller. The possibility of strengthening GW with zone plates is illusory.
