In most cases, a 4x4 post has plenty of load-bearing capacity for what it has to carry. More typically, it is a matter of height/diameter limitation. Even when a 4x4 is adequate from the engineering point of view, a 6x6 is so much stiffer that the extra cost is peanuts vs the extra robustness of the structure.
