First of, yes, I know that the boxing/muay thai combination has come to stay as the preferred striking styles. And for good reason, it doesn't really get much better than that. Yet, we can't deny that certain high-level fighters have added relevant supplements to their striking styles. Anderson Silva's taekwondo shines through when he kicks, for example.
American Kenpo is one that I can't help but feel that would be a good supplement to one's striking style, even if it's not a neccessary supplement. Look at Keith Hackney. The way he constantly switched stances, kept his oppoents (even Gracie) confused with his swift hand movements, etc. Hackney was not some great fighter, no, but 99% of humans would be absolutely clueless on how to fight those movements.
