same problem here, seems to happen only when you have the packages security.acf/security.pkcs11 installed.
i currently use the following workaround, add the following lines to your sshd_config on the affected aix lpar/server:
MACs hmac-md5,umac-64@openssh.com,hmac-ripemd160,hmac-ripemd160@openssh.com,hmac-md5-96
then restart sshd and you should be able to connect with putty again.
use it only as temporary workaround (until ibm/putty fixes this) as this removes all SHA MACs and MD5 is weak.
