I think, its a psycological phenomenon. People tend to instinctively think, that the big stacked played must be very good, so they will try to stay out of his way a little bit. For some it might be superstition. They think, the big stacked player has a "lucky run", and if they play with him, his luck will continue. Finally even a 100% rational player might think, that someone, who has just won a lot, wont be afraid to lose some of it again. The winning player might be "playing the rush" and as such is not a good target to run a big bluff.

And for all these reasons my experience is, that life at the tables is usually a lot easier, when you have build a big stack. You will typically get played back on much less, and many players will overfold to your aggression. So when I was a cash game grinder, I loved to continue on those tables, where I had build a big stack. The only thing, that might get me to leave, is, if there were no more fish left, or if a good reg on my left had also build a large stack. Especially if this would result in me potentially risking more than 5% of my bankroll in a hand against him.
