Tai chi , crane kung fu, aikido , very few styles demand a high amount of physical strength . Developing strength happens with practice . You don't need to be a huge body builder to deliver a powerful strike .

Aikido and Hapkido use redirection and leverage as opposed to matching strength for strength and those are the two disciplines that stand out the most in my mind, also many "soft" disciplines also favor using the opponent's own body or momentum against them instead of matching their strength with your own.
like Wushu, Tai Chi Chuan, etc. there are quite a few, often Judo is said to work against the opponent with little need for strength living up to it's name of "the gentle way"

I think you should try tai chi , and ninjutsu technique.
taichi uses opponet's strength for counter and sent your opponets flying with power of striking back two times harder than your opponets gives. but the weakness in this martial arts is you should be patient, the techique won't that easy to learn. as in theory you should use soft strength but that's not all.
ninjutsu techniques rely more on intelligent and speed but it rely on your weapon much as ninja cant do anything without his tools.

any weapon system.
Stregth is ALWAYS a part of power. however the fact is that many "big" guys have no clue how to use thier stregth to generate power but there is still a point at which you need incrementally more technique to deal with a bigger weight difference.
even tai chi teaches you to maintain your structure and use what you have. If you can use 80% of your stregth as power and someone bigger than you by a bit can only use 50% because he doesn't know how to hit and put more of his stregth or power into it, then he will hit weaker.

aikido, tai chi chuan, wing chun
the first two rely on weakness, not strength
the third was designed by a woman and uses the minimum amount of strength and movement

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Rojce Gracie was a 170lb guy that won the early UFC's and beat much bigger opponents.
