Boiler volcanoes are the most violent. Water is sometimes trapped in the porous rock of a volcano, and when the water gets hot enough, it turns to steam and creates enormous pressure.
The most violent volcanic explosions are typically generated from stratovolcanoes, which are steep-sided and composed of alternating layers of lava, ash, and other volcanic materials. These volcanoes have high-viscosity magma that can trap gas, leading to intense pressure build-up and explosive eruptions. Krakatoa and Mount St. Helens are examples of stratovolcanoes known for their violent eruptions.
Only the most violent volcanic eruptions feature a pyroclastic flow.

No, Venus has some of the most intense volcanic activity in our solar system. Volcanoes on Venus are known to erupt with violent explosions and release large quantities of lava and gases into the atmosphere. These eruptions are often associated with tectonic activity and can result in the formation of vast volcanic plains on the planet's surface.
The most violent volcanic eruptions are found in destructive/convergent plate boundaries. 80% of the world's active volcanoes are found occur along destructive boundaries. Acid-lava and composite volcanoes also cause the most violent eruptions as the lava is viscous and the opening of the volcano is sometimes blocked by hardened lava, causing a huge massive explosion during the eruption.

The most violent volcanic activity is associated with stratovolcanoes, which are characterized by their steep-sided cones and explosive eruptions. These eruptions can release large volumes of ash, gas, and lava at high speeds, posing a significant hazard to surrounding areas. Examples of stratovolcanoes known for violent eruptions include Mount St. Helens in the United States and Mount Vesuvius in Italy.

Krakatoa or Krakatau in Indonesia.The best-known eruption of Krakatoa culminated in a series of massive explosions on August 26-27, 1883, which was among the most violent volcanic events in modern and recorded history.

The eruption of Mount Mazama that formed Crater Lake was a caldera forming eruption. This is the most violent type of volcanic eruption.
Pyroclastic material, such as ash, pumice, and volcanic bombs, would most likely be produced by a violent volcanic eruption. These materials are expelled from the volcano with great force and can cause widespread destruction.
Volcanic gases also destroy ozone. Mt. Pinatubo was one of the most violent eruptions that caused ozone depletion.
