(big) tear
I see somebody's written something now, but strappone comes from from strappo (tear/rip), you couldn't put..
'..the millenium's financial tearing of/at the seams...', or something along those lines I'd think
'..the millenium's financial tearing of/at the seams...', or something along those lines I'd think
Note from asker:
| Yeah, my first guess was "the big rip-off" but that didn't entirely make sense in context, so I though I'd better ask the question. Nice try though....getting warmer.... |

Comment: "You were miles off but by rejecting your suggestion, I found the right direction. In the end I translated it as "binge"."

strap
Poichè in italiano il termine non esiste ho pensato fosse un prestito adattato dall'inglese. Infatti in finanza esiste il temine inglese strap che è stato evidentemente prestato all'italiano. questa è la definizione del Free Online Dictionary:
strap
A combination option made up of two calls and one put. The buyer of a strap profits from large variations in the price of the underlying asset, especially if it moves upward.REAL BUSINESS - Every little word helps - [ Traduci questa pagina ]

Quindi da strap credo che venga strap-pone per indicare le dimensioni imponenti del fenomeno. Il suffisso one infatti indica qualcosa di grande e grosso. Puoi quindi aggiungere un aggettivo tipo great "the great strap" o quello che tu sceglierai meglio di me!

punishing/frantic run-up (to the Millennium)
The expression comes from cycling, where a "strappo" is an uphill stretch that requires serious pedalling and a "strappone" is even steeper.
You'll find "strappo", "strappetto" and "strappone" in the web reference.
It is widely used in also other sectors, though, such as politics, and how you translate it will depend on the register of the rest of your text.
