As possible states to characterize THz wave emission from intrinsic Josephson junctions without external fields, the McCumber-like state and $\ensuremath{\pi}$-phase-kink state have been proposed. In the present Rapid Communication it is numerically shown that both states are stationary according to the bias current $J$ and surface impedance $Z$. The McCumber-like state is stable for low $J$ and small $Z$. For higher $J$, the $\ensuremath{\pi}$-phase-kink state accompanied with symmetry breaking along the $c$ axis is stable even for $Z=1$, though strong emission in the vicinity of cavity resonance points only takes place for larger $Z$. Different emission behaviors for $Z=1$ and 10 are precisely compared. The dynamical phase diagram for $1\ensuremath{\le}Z\ensuremath{\le}10$ and the optimal value of $Z$ for the strongest emission are also evaluated.
