Bigger shafts with bigger hp

Guys,
I've often heard of you guys increasing shaft size with the larger deisels. I was wondering why the necessity? Do the 1 5/8" shafts break with too much torque etc.? Can one "get away" with this size shaft on a Cummins 330hp??
I'm sure you guys know.
Thanks in advance.
JJ
