allthumbs ... if your guitar can't take the strain, switch back to lighter strings. There's no sense pulling things out of kilter. Maybe next time you're in the Big Smoke, take it to a pro who can advise on how to set it up for heavier strings. I'd be leery of doing it myself, but maybe you have more confidence in your fixing abilities than I do.
Either you sacrifice tone and volume, or playability -- find the happy medium -- but don't sacrifice the guitar.
