And both sets were very high, the second set of five being about 3 inches above parallel. Your form looks okay, but I think the way to fix this is to shove your knees out on the way down, and make damn sure that they get shoved out at the bottom. Bigger guys have depth problems when the thighs bind against the gut, and you can test this by exaggeration: take a close stance toes-forward and squat down, and compare what happens with a normal width toes-out knees-out squat. When you get your knees out of the way, depth becomes much easier, and the adductor stretch this provides also makes the bottom rebound waaaay more effective. The addition of a weighted bar will provide the help you need to get low.
