Since I don’t know how malleable tungsten is, let’s say the hammerhead is magic and won’t deform on impact. We attach this monstrosity to the end of a 6 foot haft which is magically able to bear both its weight and the stress of impact without damage. For clarity’s sake, this superhammer has a 1.2 ton weight being concentrated to a point by a pyramidal striking surface.

My question is, what the heck are the stats for this monster? Because I can’t find rules that let you create anything even close to this ridiculous.
There might be something about it in Chapter 7 of GURPS Supers. I remember writing about hitting people with lampposts and cars and such.
