I completely relate. Last week DD1 got her bum smacked (4 times-he was cross) by DH. He completely lost it with with her. She did something very vicious physically with DD3. It was a bad scene.
DH does so much less, but he wants to reserve the right. I was upset but I went to her and cuddled her, told her I was sorry he did that but I don't control him so, what she did was so hurtful to her sister and I can't have her do that and I just held her for a long time. That was about all I could do.
Dh still wants to punish them when they do things they shouldn't or just won't cooperate with him, doesn't matter if they are overtired, overhungry or anything else wrong.
