When someone refers to a 'stiff penalty' it is just a way of saying that a person will get the maximum punishment that the law allows for that particular crime. Such as armed robbery may carry a penalty of 25 years to life. The stiffest penalty for this crime would be life.
The death penalty is definitely the stiffest penalty for murder in the 1st degree. It is the maximum punishment for taking someones life with premeditation or several other factors that decide if a case is elegible for capital punishment.
