I figure if the tiny judoka can get the grapple in the first place and beat that high ST, she deserves to do the higher damage. I did think about penalizing the throw by difference in Size Modifier somehow though....

Maybe something like "when using this option, if the character has a lower SM than their target, the attack roll (Judo roll in the QC) takes a -2 per difference in SM." So, a gnome (SM -1) up against an ogre (SM +1) would be at -4 when using this option... but if the gnome pulls it off, there's likely a sizable damage bonus in play (an average, ST 10 gnome would deal 1d-3 cr with a damaging Judo throw - but with the Perk and against an average, HP 20 ogre, this instead becomes 2d-2, going form an average of 1 damage to an average of 5).
