You just need to add hand claps, and you're good to go :

hey justice your kick drum is amazing, how do you achieve that hardness and punch ? I am trying RnB music but lacks punch..... boosting the funda freq makes its too much without warmth.....

For extra points, add some one-hand claps.

That wasn't my kick drum, it was the lads over at the Museum of Techno laying down the beats.

For beefing up a kick drum you can try compression and/or a bit of distortion.

thanks but not all kick samples can be compress for punch, I use gated reverb but it sounds too explosive and hard with less warmth

For percussion (kicks included), a single, short delay (treated if you like) can do wonders.
