I believe the answer is:

altostratus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'huge wet blanket?' is the definition.
(blanket-like cloud)

'voice resistance puncturing reputation as' is the wordplay.
'voice' becomes 'alto' (alto is a kind of voice).
'resistance' becomes 'r' (electronics abbreviation).
'puncturing' means one lot of letters goes inside another (I've seen this in other clues).
'reputation as' becomes 'status' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'r' going within 'status' is 'stratus'.
'alto'+'stratus'='ALTOSTRATUS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for altostratus that I've seen before include "Sky feature" , "Cloud forming a uniform layer" .)
