In short different steroids have different effects and it would almost entirely depend a lot on your genetics.
A boxer like say Manny Pacquaio (fast and explosive) will have a lot more fast twitch muscle fibers than a slower concussive puncher in say an Angulo.
In conjunction with boxing training and explosive routines yes I imagine there would be some increase in punching power, how much is anybodies guess but they certainly wouldn't turn you from a Paulie to a Tommy Hearns.
Its a very complex subject and its not really known to my knowledge if you can change the fibers from one to the other, you can however increase them ofc
Maybe somebody else could give a more definitive answer but in regards to punching power exclusively I am not sure its something that has been widely researched.

Enhance performance !!!
But seriously it depends on the fighter, different types of ped do different things as well. Some can make you more dynamic and explosive, which can mean harder punches, and like you mentioned, some give you more endurance fight day.

To reiterate: PED's do what you want them to do.
