Unfortunately a lot of authors think otherwise, I think it's wish fulfillment, so many women still want their man to be stronger than them, I've had friends tell me that they wouldn't want to date someone who wasn't stronger than them. It always weirded me out, probably because I've always wanted to be the stronger in a relationship, but in the end, I just want to get along with the person I end up with.
I'm with those authors on that point. I like alpha men and I can't think of a man as alpha if he's not taller, heavier, and stronger than I am.
But it's kind of obvious that Garrus isn't the alpha with Femshep, that's not to say he doesn't have any kind of control, she initiated the realationship but he set the pace. Honestly I don't really think that they can classified as alpha and whatnot, physical strength doesn't really factor into that anyway, and judging by his reach and flexibility story he likes strong dominant women, because he is a strong dominant male who likes a good fight. So whenever I read a fanfic with Femshep being all soft and submissive I have to stop because it's just so bleh, and in control suddenly confident in bed with a human Garrus is just so wrong, on so many levels. I'm not saying that Garrus should be soft and submissive, not at all. I just think that the physical parts of their relationship should be more balanced than what most authors have written.
Unfortunately the best mass effect fanfiction I've ever read is a Thane one, called "The Destroyer." There have been a couple of passable Garrus fics but nothing as good as that one. Seriously that author is amazing, she can write the "Strong Female breaks down only with The Man" and make it not cliche, I spent most of my time reading that fic wishing she were writing a GarrusxFemshep because she's just that good.
Anyway I view them as equals and when I think of them, doing the dirty. I always imagined that it would end with a broken fishtank.
I'm not saying Garrus can't be alpha if Shep herself is dominant. I don't picture Shep as the submissive sort (unless she's in the mood), but I do picture her challenging Garrus and Garrus being able to physically overpower her. I just have a hard time imagining a being that large not being stronger than a human female, military training or not. I realize Shepard beat up the Turian creeper in Afterlife (sooo funny, loved that scene), but he was drunk. Plus, Garrus has had his own training in C-Sec, not to mention his time on Omega.
Looking at his neck, he looks lean, all tight and dense muscle. But perhaps I am projecting <3. Really, though, if you consider how animals smaller than you can wreck shop on you (some seals, otters, chimps, baboons, etc.), it would make sense for Turians to be stronger. But then I also wonder have they domesticated themselves to the degree that we have with ourselves and so inadvertently made themselves weaker? They've been out in space longer, so presumably they have been 'civilized' longer... but with a militarized society, perhaps they haven't. Eh.. too much to think on this late, back to laundry for me

Re: Purring/growling: Firmly in the growl camp here. Can very easily imagine a deep growl coming from a Turian. The purring.. I can see that as well, I just prefer the growl
