If this ST 200 monster weighs less than 500 tons, then you'll need less ST . . . but he should get some benefit to compensate. For instance, if he weighs just a ton, he might function as only ST 25 for opposing grapples, but the GM should probably rule that since his BL 8,000 is four times his weight in 1G, he can use ST/4 instead of Basic Move for jumps, and still be at No Encumbrance in a 4G gravity field . . . and the GM should also be hitting him with falling and collision damage for HP 25, not HP 200.
