Lots of things can be helpful; they just need to be applied relevant to a good understanding of the goals.
Improving technique and structure is generally the first and most effective way to improve power, because very few people have perfected those. Next would come improving acceleration, because it has a proportionally greater effect than increasing mass, but without the draining downsides of increasing mass.
I personally think plyometric pushups are a more efficient way to train relevant strength for punch power than bench, personally, but that doesn't mean bench can't be helpful, especially to overcome plateaus.
