Shoulders are a part of the body that help transmit force from the central body. If one has strong shoulders then it is easier to take the work accomplished (energy and force) through the trunk and convert it into a strong punch.
If I gave you a Dodge charger engine of 800 horses, and put it in a Volkswagen Bug, what do you think would happen? If I had my wife's arms and shoulders and my trunk and threw a punch similar question: what would happen?
Why do you equate smaller legs with weak leg strength? People like Max Baur who had gigantic shoulders also had very strong legs. Wilder for example. And BTW Bodybuilders are known to have horrible punching power, depending on their arms not even their shoulders!
Aside from the these comments, punching hard has elements involving timing, ways of converting movement to force, the kinematic chain, how things flow from the floor up to the contact point... People punch hard utilizing different principles. Bruce Lee used speed and explosive tendon/sinew strength.The Defecator

From Hsin Yi, the mother art of linear hitting in China where: "the hips are a bow and the spine a string" to the words of Dempsey telling us how to convert weight to force through our legs (stepping and settling).
