Three compressors of course!
Cody, punch is connected to attack, which means slow attack time if you want to increase it. If you're going to use a slow attack and preserve the transients, what's the need for parallel?
If you use a TG-1 to limit or compress and blend that in, you'll get a big sound, but big and punchy are not necessarily the same thing, especially limiting.
Think about it, you're getting more of the sustain, and less of the attack. That's why the TG-1 is so amazing on room mics.
Try leaving you're transients on the close mics intact, but bringing out the later part of the sound in the distant mics. Then you get punchy and big.
Try the Zener or an Ltd 2 on the slowest setting and use a bottom snare mic through the Culture Vulture on the P2 setting (or the middle position position of the three if I'm remembering the label wrong). There are balls and punch under the snare that most people overlook.
