if you do for all non-www and www redirection to https and when you add all types to google webmaster tools you don't should get any drops of ranking - your site will be re-indexed and all links also will be re-indexed from no http to https and it will get a time.
If you have a chance good step will be to change some link to your site from http to https

there remains a small risk though
for example we had a site with keyword heavy backlinks/anchors, but it was gathered over a period of 7 year. when we moved to https all those links got redirect at once to a 'new' page. and we got a penalty shortly after
if everything is fine and dandy the move shouldn't be so risky
