The thing that limits upsizing hooks is when it affects the action of the lure.
Try take a set of hooks one size up, and two sizes up, and a pair of split ring pliers, with you the next time you're going to throw the Punker, and see if it still walks as easily with the upsized hooks.
Only you know when the bait works the way you like it.
The size of the feathered tail hook can also really affect how a lure performs.
The Punker is a great walker, even with a big feathered treble tail hook, but it does have it's limits, so take some feathered trebles with you in the other two sizes, too, and test them as well.
Most treble hooks in the larger sizes by Gami, Owner, Mustad, or Eagle Claw will work just fine.
