* Most animals' muscles are proportionately stronger than those of humans, meaning that a monkey can potentially win a tug-of-war against a man four or five times its size. This may be a legacy of how much of human physiology is designed for endurance rather than sudden bursts of strength.
* The surge of adrenaline that occurs when someome is terrified can override the usual safety limits that stop us from contracting more than about 1/3 of a muscle's myofibrils at a time. This increases strength enormously, but at a cost: neither muscles nor tendons can tolerate such extreme tension without risk of injury, meaning that someone who ''uses'' all of that extra strength is likely to suffer sprains, muscle tears, or even broken bones.

Physiologically and anatomically speaking, this may be due to ''density'' of the muscle, both in number of cells (''myofibrils'') per muscle, cell size and functional units (''sarcomers'') per cell, as well at the muscles ability to store and deliver energy to the sarcomers, the length of the muscle, the length of the lever arm (amount of leverage on the bones). Muscle size also adds to strength, but only because it allows for an increase in the absolute number of myofibrils. Also, a good nervous system is needed to drive the muscles efficently.
Physics-wise, the amount of energy generated is proportional to both the mass and to the square of the velocity (specifically kE=1/2* m* v^2). This means that within a range, a smaller, faster object will transfer more energy to whatever it hits. Or as the popular example goes, a train moving at 2 miles per hour may be a little scare but hardly dangerous even if it hits you. A bullet moving at 2000 may carry the same amount of energy... and most certainly is very dangerous.

* The mages in the ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' universe are extremely strong physically, but it doesn't show much in their physique. In the beginning of season two, the nine-year old Nanoha protected herself from attacks from both sides, holding the shields apart with her bare hands in a StarWars-like double-AdvancingWallOfDoom manner. Both attacks had the momentum to blow a whole in an average building and eventually made Nanoha ''sink ankle-deep into the concrete floor''. And that's a nine-year old girl with no excessive muscle mass.
