You need systemsettings5 to change the font size and DPI for KDE applications, if XFCE does not provide a Qt plugin to do this automatically. You could also try the qt5ct tool, which is designed to offer such plugin for those minimal desktops. Please ask for help in a forum of your distribution. I had the opposite problem, that fonts were too small, and are fine for me at 144 dpi. Nothing I tried would change the font size, including systemsettings5 or qt5ct. I ended up bodging it with this wrapper script to start kdenlive, to set the dpi to 144 then reset it afterwards:
#!/bin/bash
dpi=`xdpyinfo | grep resolution | awk '{print $2}' | cut -f 1 -d x`
xrandr --dpi 144
(sleep 5 ; xrandr --dpi $dpi) &
kdenlive $@
