Not knowing anything about you, I'd guess you are a heavy and tall rider, trying to use bikes that are too under built/light for your size. Most exotic steel bikes are built for average riders, average in the world of top end cycling being 5'9", 160 lbs.
My Columbus tubed sl/sp framed steel bike was never a problem for me over 36Kmiles, and I was 5'11"and 175 lbs when I had it. I stayed away from slx tubes, deeming them too light for me.
My modern Al bike, came with not only a weight limit, but also road/riding style warning.
Frames have design limits re rider weight. For you to have broken so many steel frames makes me think you were outside those limits. But like I said, I know nothing about you.
