Won't you be going way over the maximum recommended load for the Douze? I think it's 120kg... I've had up to about 80kg in the front of mine and you certainly feel the bike flex around a lot with a heavy load. Makes sense to make best use of the available space you have. I'd upgrade the rotor size on the discs to help braking with such big loads... I had 160mm DIA rotors and they weren't good enough so now have 180mm DIA, although I know the Tektro levers & calipers aren't great but I just can't keep spending more and more money on bikes... :)

I would if I was carrying large soft things of low value that can get wet.
I use my bike to carry champagne which I need to stack up in cases.
Currently I can fit 2x2 = 4 cases at the bottom and stack them 3 high so that's 12 cases of 6 bottles = 72 bottles (roughly 120kg).
With a box a tad wider, I could fit 2x3 = 6 cases stacked up 3 times, that's 18 cases of 6 bottles = 108 bottles (roughly 180kg).
Box need to be lockable so people don't steal Champagne while I am delivering.
Also would like mounts for a bottle holder and a speaker holder on it.
And being able to remove the top completely so I can carry a human or a dog.
