Players with bigger stacks have more Power to lord it over the table, they will widen their calling ranges to take smaller stacks out, when they go all-in, simply because a player with only 10/15 BBs is going to have to shove at some point and if you have over 100 BBs then losing to a shorter stack is not going to cripple you. 
Doyle Brunson won two world titles with 10/2 not because it is a great hand but he called All-in bets from opponents with smaller chip stacks that could not damage his bigger stack if he lost the hand. I once called a player heads up without looking at my hand simply because I had 90% of the chips and he couldn't hurt me if I lost the flip. He had A/K and I had 6/2 off and I won, pairing my 2 on the River.
But there are draw backs to this, Have you ever heard of the phrase "Hero to Zero"?  It happens all too often, I got to the FT in a Bounty Hunter game and the player with the biggest Bounty was also the shortest in chips, So at some point he had to have lost a massive all-in that he couldn't come back from, this made him a juicy target to go after and eventually he went out to a sick cooler, his A/K suited getting beat by pocket 4s.
That's Poker!
