I'm somewhere in the 260-270 range and I ride an older 68cm Custom that was built for a guy that probably weighed 190 soaking wet, and I've never had any issues in 10 years of owning it. I think you should get whatever model that you like the best and fits your intended purpose.
One thing I will add is that I've had a lot better results, longevity speaking, with 38mm tires than I did with 32s. I just don't think the 32s were wide enough for my girth. That may help inform your choice of frame. Were I to start from scratch I probably would want clearance in the 40-50mm range instead of being maxed at 38mm.
