I've always known this was true...but can someone explain the physics of it?

of course it matters. have u ever looked at the world records for benching? i'm sure they've changed since last time i looked, but the records are all in weight classes, and the lowest weight class is 130 and the record was like 400, while the highest weight class, i think 250+, the record was like 700. so yeah, people who weigh more are going to be able to work the weights up higher.

as you become stronger, you are generally going to gain muscle mass, which adds weight to your frame. and also, while it is not always true, people with more muscle mass tend to be stronger, allowing them to lift heavier weights.
so........for the most part, more muscle=more weight, and more muscle=more strength(in terms of powerlifting, as opposed to bodybuilding).....hope this answers your question
