There's no question that diesels operate at higer cylinder pressures. BMEP and peak pressures are both higher than for similar gasoline engines. (That's part of the reason diesel engines sound like somebody shaking a jar full of marbles.) What does that have to do with aluminum heads? The engine parts have to be designed to do their job. No more.
When you want to water your yard do you use a hardware store garden hose with a maximum working pressure of about 150psig? Or do you get a stainless braid reinforced flexible metal hose good for 1500 psig? Or do you go for the best and run 20,000psi Chiksan joints hammer-unioned to XXXH schedule pipe since everyone knows it will hold more pressure than the hose? My guess is you get a good quality garden hose because you know it will handle the pressure you need it to.
