I think you might be able to ride something like a specialized hardrock with ease.
With any bike, you are gonna be wanting to shoot for one with a lot of spokes, because all the spokes act together at once to support the wheel from squashing/expanding. So you can think about it as all the spokes working together to help support your weight, so the more spokes there are the better supported you will be.
In addition to this, you may be getting a few flats, so perhaps some nice durable tires and tubes would work in your favor!
I think people underestimate the amount of weight and beating a bicycle can take, if you outfit it right, you should be fine!
