Normally I would says no, but given your approx weight, I can't says and recommended you to speak to a reputable wheelbuilder to find out whether it's worth going for or not.
Also let the wheelbuilder choose the spokes to fit your need.
I love my A23 as it's a great and strong rims (both 32 holes, fixed tourer) but I'm only 75kg, the other person whom I know who managed to wreck the A23 is jammy (andy from Tokyo Fixed) on his Surly Cross-check because he's also quite heavy (and tall).
He since then went for a DT Swiss touring rims that's just as wide, if you're looking for a strong alternative; Mavic A319.
