If you have one around, a Sahara from Morich will be very close - same coverstcok, just a medium strong asymmetrical core. Will run a bit different from the Punisher, more pop in the back end, but condition-wise a very good option.
From the overseas ball, a Master Zone from 2 years ago would also be very close (Punisher cover with Control Zone core) - if you can find one, some are still on sale.
From the current balls, I'd also look at the Dry Zone. It has stronger cover (Activator pearl from the OI), but a low differentrial core from the Purple Pearl Fuze - this one should work well in the same condition range as the Punisher.
And - there's always the simple pearl Power Groove. It handles the same as the Punisher, just less spectacular. IMHO even the better choice, since the PG's are very easy to handle and not so jerky as the Punisher.
For a more arcing option, check the Jolt solid. Will be a tad rollier than a Punisher, but IMHO an option, too.
The purple Vibe (gone) from HAmmer wourld IMHO also eb an option. It is now replaced with the Cherry Vibe, but I cannot say anything about this one.
Another assumption would be the Ogre SS from Visionary - this one should fit the Punisher bill well. I also havent thrown or even seen one in action, but since Visionary's descriptions are very correct and from the place it fits in their arsenal, it would IMHO be a candidate, too.
