Except for the location you say the sound comes from, what you describe sounds like the "gas sloshing noise" that has been discussed several times. The thunk from the gas tank would only happen when accelerating from a stop (like you describe), and does sound to me like a rubber mallet. Could the sound possibly be coming from the rear, but you are perceiving it to come from the front end?
Watch the fuel level when you hear the thunk, as the gas sloshing noise occurs when the tank is at or near full.
