Also, he has stated that he doesn't want to kill students, he wants to rule them.

Yes, it's questionable that he even would want to attack Hogwarts.

while the muggles defend against a brute-force assault.

He can just transfigure a nuclear bomb and explode it near Hogwarts. Hogwarts itself might have protections but the army around likely doesn't.

Given Quirrel's rant about Muggles destroying the world with nukes, I doubt he'd escalate the situation by using one, especially when he has so many other options.
