Huge amounts of corporal punishment! (8)
I believe the answer is:
lashings
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'huge amounts' is the first definition.
(lashings can mean large amounts of something)
'corporal punishment' is the second definition.
(lashing means beating with a whip)
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for lashings that I've seen before include "a great deal" , "Lots and lots" , "punishment" , "Great quantity" , "They secure" .)
