There's a few reasons why this wouldn't work.  

1.Too many rolls to resolve.  In DL you already have to make several rolls in combat, this is just too much, and would slow things down.

2.  It is unecessary to adjust for size as bigger guys are already stronger and will be hitting more to begin with.  (You have to have a min. str. for brawny, and I believe scrawny can't go above a certain point.)  As far as critters go the bigger ones are already super strong and probably won't be brawling with you anyways...  

3.  As an alternative, if you want your big'un to suck up more shots he could take tough as nails since he saved points for not buying Brawny.
