Well sure, Turin is exceptional, but if the strongest of men is stronger than the strongest of Elves, it is possible that the higher ceiling indicates a potential higher average. Especially considering that Elves in general weren't known for being huge (only really some of their lords) where as the Numenoreans in mass were just giant (they averaged at least 6'4" if I'm recalling correctly their measure of half-man height and such).
