In the case of D&D 4e, I would encourage extra action points and loosening of the AP rules. This leads to very cinematic battles, after all: where the Hero(es) are just going ballistic, unloading their big flashy powers with a speed and fury unmet even by the big bads.
White Wolf's frenzies often lead to this kind of thing in the games that feature them (notably Vampire & Werewolf), with characters that have been pushed too far flipping their shit and ripping apart everything between them and the people who fucked them up. Of course, due to the thematic focus of those games, this usually ends up with PCs having hurt people they didn't mean to, or waking up from frenzy in front of loved ones who are more than a bit traumatized by seeing a room full of bad guys getting ripped to shreds.
