I'll let 949 comment more on this, but this general isn't the case. The technical reason for a big brake kit is to increase the useful mass in order to aid in thermal management. There's many other benefits (like 949 mentioned) like decreasing sprung weight, and decreasing consumable cost with 2 piece rotors etc.
But from a physics standpoint, increasing rotor/pad size with all else being equal doesn't
necessarily increase total braking torque.
