I think there's also a physical element to "officiating big". You can project the confidence that Jurassic talks about by having good posture on the court. Stand tall, don't hang your head, don't lean one way or the other (especially when reporting. I used to do that and got BAD comments about it.)
I've seen guys who officiate almost hunched over. They're concentrating so hard that they move their head forward and it looks awkward. If they simply stand straight and tall, they look sharper and more confident.
Also, if you're a really big guy, you can use your size when some kind of confrontation is about to break out. You can use your size to diffuse the situation by getting in the middle of it quickly.
