It's the plectrum psyching-yourself-out thing again isn't it…
I have forever played full-scale Fenders with Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky, which are like 9s on the top and 10s on the wound strings: 9-11-16-26-36-46. It still feels right on my hybrid/offset Tele, but the Tele-Tele is starting to feel like it wants something beefier. Might try the Power Slinky (11-14-18-28-38-48) or Mega Slinky (10.5-13.5-17.5-28-38-48) and if they're too much drop down to regular 10s.
