We discuss in detail the coupled-channels approach for large-angle quasi-elastic scattering in massive systems, where many degrees of freedom may be involved in the reaction. We especially investigate the effects of single-, double-, and triple-phonon excitations on the quasi-elastic scattering for {sup 48}Ti, {sup 54}Cr, {sup 56}Fe, {sup 64}Ni, and {sup 70}Zn+{sup 208}Pb systems, for which the experimental cross sections have been measured recently. We show that the present coupled-channels calculations well account for the overall width of the experimental barrier distribution for these systems. In particular, it is shown that the calculations taking into account single-quadrupole phonon excitation in {sup 48}Ti and triple-octupole phonon excitations in {sup 208}Pb reasonably well reproduce the experimental quasi-elastic cross section and barrier distribution for the {sup 48}Ti+{sup 208}Pb reaction. However, {sup 54}Cr, {sup 56}Fe, {sup 64}Ni, and {sup 70}Zn+{sup 208}Pb systems seem to require the double-quadrupole phonon excitations in the projectiles to reproduce the experimental data.
