The real reason Peter became the big beast and no one else has is simply because of the cost of the CGI. Canonically speaking the reason is yet to be told but we are given several possibilities such as "the shape you take is a reflection of who you are."

Please keep in mind that nowhere in the show has anyone stated that Peter's shape is due to his inner reflection....they only state that losing control of yourself can make one end up like Peter. (Aiden and Ethan) The entire inner reflection thing was used to explain the Kanima but since then folks have applied it to just about everyone else.

I urge folks to read past interviews with Jeff both pre- and post-season 1 and you'll find the answer about the budget constraints. Jeff and the TW staff may have decided to suspend trying to make another beast like Peter and that is why the prevailing notion of one's shape = inner self seems to be widely regarded as the true answer.

I tend to believe, based on the interviews I mentioned, that when the budget allows for it, we will see another "beast." That is the ideal werewolf "look" that Jeff was wanting to have for the werewolves in TW (again, according to those early Q&A's).


 * one last note: Jeff Davis has mentioned in interviews that Derek's look is becoming more beastial throughout the seasons due to him aging and maturing as a werewolf. He specifically pointed out Derek's brow becoming more pronounced. In that interview, he was explaining how the werewolves "evolve" toward a more beastial look.
