Many of us "only" work 40 hours at our paid employment, but do loads more hours for our other jobs:

Those coworkers who get bent out of shape are probably concerned that you're raising the employer's expectations of their employees.
They may also be concerned about you personally. Your coworkers may feel that putting so much time into your employment is unhealthy for you, even if you don't realize it. From their point of view, they can't understand how you can work like that and be healthy and happy. To you that may feel annoying and judgmental, but it comes from a place of concern and care.
