all of this advice is on point. loose hands until just before impact makes for faster hands. also gives you grabing options.
the "snap" is where all the damage happens, your hand sould come back as fast as it went out. hips help with all of this. power and speed flows through the hips, while still keeping your body conected to the ground - (almost) literally, you are connecting your body with the earth and smacking them in the face with the planet.
commentors point about knees is correct and, if anyone is looking to get decent at striking combat in a short amount of time... find a good gym and train muay thai.
yeah a well executed punch definitely doesn't need to have your whole body strength behind it in order to fuck someone up, and whatever lands is infinitely more damaging than what doesn't
I'd also recommend training combat sports. even if you never end up in a violent altercation the compound benefits are fucking amazing
training and sparring is 100% therapy.
