People don't gain watts for every extra lb they weigh, and there are obviously huge variations in power and endurance for different riders at any weight. There's a reason why the heaviest riders in the world tour are still only ~75Kg. None of this scales indefinitely either, and there are hard limits on how much oxygen and food anyone can process no matter how big they are.
Guess I better leave those donuts in the break room alone, then.
