Papulatus didn't do 10k touch, I believe his touch was and has always been 3k. On the other hand, you did have to deal with 10k bomb explosions (but those could be avoided provided you didn't hit the bombs or you did more than 10k damage to them). Very few people Scarlion'd except warriors and HP washed people when he did 10k touch. Zakum3's touch damage is entirely avoidable, and, once again, only warriors (and F/Ps before it was fixed) actually killed Bigfoot when his touch damage was 10k.
Seriously, "more damage = more challenge" is a horrible way to design bosses. Yes, if it kills everyone in the game with a single hit it is technically challenging. You know what else would be challenging? A boss that always reduced your damage to 1, had a lot of HP, and a time limit of oh say... an hour. That would also technically be challenging; should that be a new boss?
