And more generally, what kinds of abilities can you mash together?
Can a stunning fist also be a perfect strike, while also being a punishing kick?
Can my stunning, punishing, perfect fistkickstrike also target the foe's flat-footed AC via the Spin Kick style strike?
Where does the madness end?
'Stunning Fist' and 'Punishing Kick' are flavour names as there is no restriction what body part the monk uses to attack with. This is opposed to 'Spin Kick' which has to be.
As long as you kick when you stack those abilities together I don't see why they wouldn't work. None of them require specific activations other than the restriction that the Spin Kick has to be as part of a flurry.
It sounds odd but then the attack could also be Power Attacking, Arcane Striking, Judgeing, Baneing Smite.
Can a stunning fist also be a perfect strike, while also being a punishing kick?
Not normally, because perfect strike only works with kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, or siangham, while style strikes and Stunning Fist require an unarmed strike. You'd need Ascetic Form with one of those four weapons to use them all at the same time.

Good catch, I kinda skimmed over that.
So taking perfect strike out, how about the rest?
Stunning Fist + Punishing Kick + any given style strike?
Since neither feat specifies a body part (punishing kick doesn't even specify you have to make an unarmed strike), could you combine those three, assuming you used the correct body part for the style strike?
Yes, you can. Stunning Fist and Punishing Kick are usable when you make an attack roll, which is something you do when you perform your Spin Kick style strike.
