I am also in the ~150 lb range, and for my A Homer Hilsen, I never felt any flex until I loaded about 20-25 lbs of groceries in the back. The bike felt sprightly with the weight in the back. I don't know if the spring-like feeling I got riding out of the saddle is planing, but it sure felt good.
I'm guessing that the Charlie is built for ~185 lbs if not more, so I personally would not hesitate to add 20 lbs on a rear rack and another 5-10 for the front (for your weight).
