Ok...so 1 light speed punch is>>100 million punches per second. Doesn't sound right to me but whatever.
Technically, that many punches would be 150 million times 1 light speed punch. But yes, one light speed punch would be 1/3 faster that what you said
But that's not how it works in comics ever, that many punches being effective I mean. 1 light speed punch is like the ultimate in comics.

Make sense and I can see what you mean by comics and real world standards.

The character is utilizing his increasing mass for great power but also greatly suffers from the strain of the approaching infinite mass acting on their body. Hence why it's typically used only once.

Multiple punches where the arms are moving at light speed or when the character is simply flying at light speed should behave the same way but they don't. Likely because the laws of special relativity are being ignored -- by powersets (Speedforce) or out of simple convenience. So the punches do not have anywhere close to the power demonstrated by IMPs and are more akin to a flurry of light jabs because the laws of special relativity aren't being preserved there.
But this happens all the time in comics and is more the norm than anything else, otherwise every time a character flies at near light speed, he is propelling his own near infinite mass forward.

Technically every character should be able to produce the same result with a punch if they can travel at light speed, but as far as I know this has only been attributed to Flash in comics.
And a blitz attack is for whatever reason just a mosquito bites, as opposed to lightspeed punches millions of times. That's comics for ya though.
