If they want tougher characters, up their starting CP totals and give them some "tough guy" templates and lenses to help them out. Magic-based ablative force DR might be perfect, for instance, depending on their character concept; either that, or enchanted armor/weapons.

That's just a tip. It sounds like they're after a pretty high-powered campaign, so you could start them off with, say, 150 points (which is rather high powered), tell them to come up with disadvantages, and then tell them that they're, say, equivalent to level 5+ to D&D characters. That way, they'll have an idea of what to expect.
