There isn't a single answer to this question:

If the lyrics are common to the staff above and the staff below, the 
single lyric line is usually centred between them.  In this case 
there would normally be only two vocal staves and the dynamics would 
be placed above the higher and below the lower staff.

But if each staff has its own lyrics each lyric line would be placed 
underneath and closer to the related staff, with all dynamics placed 
above their staff.
