How to play with huge stack?

Lets say you are in a 100/9 MTT with 380 people. Pay out is to 40. You have 5x average stack at the 2nd break. 66 players remain. How do you play. You have 5 times average stack which is about 74 BB right now. 2nd in chips has half as much as you.

Are you waiting around for good hands, playing a lot of pots, or pushing people around?

Well with the bubble fast approaching I try and take down a bunch of small pots and stay out of big showdowns, no need to double anyone.

I tend to loosen up, but not extremely so.

The logic for me is that playing more pots lets you disguise your powerful hands. People get sick of you pushing them around and start playing back at you only to find out you have a monster.
