Start power is the amount of power the controller sends to the motor when it is stationary. Because the controller doesn't have any feedback from the motor when it isn't turning, it sends a fixed amount of power which is defined in the start power setting. The only reason to increase the start power setting is if there is cogging when starting from a standstill. In other cases it should be as low as possible.

The punch control limits the power at all times but it usually makes a difference in the lower rev range where the motor's torque is high.
