A slightly violent reaction I'm fine with. A punch in the face is something that would be a knee-jerk reaction for a PTSD suffering soldier who's just found out he's suffered one of the biggest betrayals by someone he cared about probably more than anyone else. It's not pre-meditated, he doesn't think; "That bastard made me think he was dead so I am going to make sure he suffers back long-term." It fits this Watson...and I can see it fitting Ritchieverse!Watson too.

What annoys me more in reunion fics is not so much the violence as the angst. When people write it so that John is completely unable to forgive Sherlock and make out like what he did was the worst thing imaginable (forgetting of course that if Sherlock hadn't done what he did, John and two others would be dead). The kind of fans on Tumblr who say that the song 'Jar of Hearts' is so fitting for the reunion and how John should feel. Uh...no. John will be angry, sure, and want some space for a bit but he would still eventually understand Sherlock's reasons. And faking your death to save your friends is not the same as just being a selfish git who breaks up with someone only to try to get them back.
