This is an idiom. Pack basically means "has or holds" and punch means "hit with your fist." So it basically means one can hit people with one's fists with powerful strength. But here it is used as an analogy, it is saying that the little frogs can "pack the biggest punch" due to their poison.

Thanks.
I think "punch" is a noun here."Biggest punch" - "biggest fist"? Pack the punch - holds the fist - block the assault?
