From Wikipedia:

The Armor of Emperor Ferdinand I is a suit of plate armor created by the Nuremberg armorer Kunz Lochner in 1549 for the future Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor. One of several suits of armor made for the Emperor Ferdinand during the wars of Reformation and conflict with the Ottomans, the etched but functional armor is thought by scholars to symbolize and document the role of the Habsburg Catholic monarchs as warriors on Europe's literal and ideological battlefields.

If you punched someone while wearing a steel gauntlet, could you kill them? If not, could you do more damage as opposed to a bare fist?

Considering the fact that you can kill someone with a punch from a normal fist, yes, a gauntleted punch can most definitely kill someone.

Wearing a gauntlet adds mass to the fist, which increases the kinetic energy of the blow. Also, you’re impacting a harder surface (steel) which will impart more of the kinetic energy to the target because it has less give.

Take all of that, then add it on top of getting punched by something like this,

and you’re going to have a bad time.

Historically, gauntlets were used by soldiers and knights. It was considered an important piece of armour, since the hands and arms were particularly vulnerable in hand-to-hand combat. With the rise of easily reloadable and effective firearms, hand-to-hand combat fell into decline along with personal armour, including gauntlets
