I've heard some say that chopping wood with an ax would help tremendously...
The wood chopping thing I think is overrated. Other than heavybag.? I think heavybag helps with the bodyshots and inside fighting alot since it helps the muscles in the back get developed for landing punches on the inside. But punching power would be more technique I would think. Working on technique with a good trainer.
