[Star Wars] How is the Millennium Falcon so durable?

In the movies we see it ram or smack other ships (tie fighters), we see it slam and skid in the ground, all while only suffering minor skin and antenna damage. It's like a racing video game where your car is indestructible. 

Is the ship actually that tough? Was the whole thing reinforced with the intent of it inflicting ship-to-ship damage? All other ships (besides the Ramships) seem to fall apart whenever they make physical contact (like a plane would).

Edit: lots of thorough, entertaining, and all-around great answers here, thank you everyone!

The falcon is made with superior materials, by a system known for tough as nails ships, modified over the years by smugglers, gamblers, and rogues to be even tougher, faster, sneakier, with better shields, guns, sensors, and enough storage for at least 42% of Lando Calrissian's cape collection. 

The falcon is correllian built, and Correllians build ship hulls tough. We're talking heavy duty, capital ship class superstructure materials in a ship that doesn't even clock in at corvette class. 

Remember those ramming frigates used in the Battle of Scarif? A Correllian built design still in use two HUNDRED YEARS after they entered service. Those little ships are about 50% drive by mass, and the drives are strong enough to push a star destroyer around with ease. The frames of those Ram ships were tough enough to take the strain of force from that push, and not bend. 

By contrast, a Tie is a stamped-out, mass produced, cheap design with no shields and no hyperdrive. 

The Falcon bashing a TIE out of its way is like bashing a toy car with a sledgehammer.
