Body weight vs Body size? (good plan on gaining weight but not size)

I have noticed that some people tend to have a larger and bulkier size but not specifically having that much weight on them. Ignoring the slight variances in genetics like bone weight - are there specific weight lifting programs that determine how will your body size to weight ratio are going to correlate?

I have seen quite a few people that look like normal folks with a shirt on, but that would weight significantly more than people that are actually buffed up. Do rep/set schemes have anything to do with that?

Most of those people tend to lift heavy and low reps from what I've noticed and have very little muscle definition (nor size), while those that lift in 8-12 rep range tend to be bigger and can weigh both much and not so much relative to their body frame.

Does anyone have any scientific data that touches this issue? I am looking to gain weight and muscle definition for strength and power, but not necessarily size.
