Looking for a BEAST of a commuter bike.

My beloved hand built free ride bike converted to commuter got stolen and I don't have anywhere near as much money as I had some years back. It cost me over £3k and I just can't do that again.
Looking to spend £1000-1500 for it's replacement. The problem is I've broken half a dozen bikes, hence why I had a Freeride commuter bike. But that was some years back so I'm hoping things have moved on.
I am over 22 stone and have tree trunk legs that chew up lesser chainsets. My commute is 10 miles and I push myself hard every day.
Key points for me would be:
1. Take 1.6" sport contact tyres.
2. Have hydraulic discs
3. Strong enough to take the weight and the power.
Is anyone making anything off the shelf designed for punishing commutes?
