Note that because the default face height is always absolute and fixed,
it should be easy enough to do what you want by retrieving the current
height and multiplying it yourself.

e.g.
(set-face-attribute 'default nil
                    :height (truncate
                             (* (face-attribute 'default :height) 1.1)))
