Occam's Razor makes a good point. Any way you can increase the mass of the muscles throughout the upper body, you gain more recoil control. The extra strength helps, but the actual gain in size helps to defeat recoil.

Much like a large strong neck aids in preventing KO's in combat sports. I've noticed that I generally can shoot longer and more accurately for longer than most of my friends. I'm also very broad in the shoulders and chest and I think this is an advantage when shooting. There comes a point of diminishing returns though, where your muscles require more oxygen than you can supply and they tire more quickly. Big muscles equal big oxygen consumption.
