Re: How much is the minimum to qualify as a Steampunk story?
My top 3 items would be as follows:

1. An Industrial Era (read, Victorian, but America fits into that, too), Neo-Victorian, or Victorian inspired setting
2. Technology appropriate to #1 that is sufficiently advanced for its setting (i.e., retro-futurist)
3. An ideology of questioning #2 within the context of #1

Sorry for the Rules of Robotics setup :D
