'unhinged' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'151 tuna' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but

'could become' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lunatic that I've seen before include "Type of fringe" , "Foolish person" , "Madman - idiot" , "Crazy" , "Insane person" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
