It's like slapping the lowest part of the piano, like a thunder/rumble/booming-like effect. I've seen on wiki that it may be called "bashing"? How do you achieve it?
Here's a video of it being using multiple times, towards the ending
What is the name of the piano technique when a player dramatically slams the pianos lower/bass keys?

Elton John used that to great effect in the song Bennie And The Jets. I have seen him perform live. It's a powerful thing when blasting through thousands of watts of PA system.– SparquelitoDec 26, 2019 at 10:26

Fortissimo
Or triple forte - fortississimo - I suppose is the proper thing to mean as loud as possible.
In that particular recording it sounds like there is a bass drum or some other percussion also being used. That seems to be what is producing the big thud.
