I have brought down many more servers this month than I ever did in

One possible problem is that you're enabling Thorough tests (under the  
'Global variable settings' drop-down menu on the 'Advanced' tab). This  
causes Nessus to try running many of the service detection plugins  
against all open ports, not just those on the associated well-known  
service port.
