STR is how much torque multiplication you get
at high slip (like 3000RPM and not moving, at
launch). More STR makes more pavement thrust
and makes it "come on" over a narrower band
(you have to give slightly more pedal to move,
for the same rated stall speed, on a higher STR
converter but it takes less, beyond that, to get
the full torque multiplication).
STR is one way to make up for too-tall factory
gearing. It's also a good way to get your next set
of tires earlier

Everything jimmyblue said, the letters stand for Stall Torque Ratio, or torque multiplier.
The higher the STR, the more hookup problems you will have.

You see it on the dyno as absurdly high RWT values,
"torque spikes", if you start at low enough RPM unlocked
or downshift at the start of the pull.
As the input shaft RPM rises, the coupling goes toward
1:1 and conversely, the improved coupling works more
to hold down the engine RPM until the output shaft
catches up.
