Generally speaking, no, I don't enjoy playing the submissive. And this has nothing to do with 'having things done to me' or 'putting the girl in charge', I just don't like perceiving myself as weak little male that obeys to his woman in fear of retribution; to me, that would be as off-putting as fucking a bearded strongwoman. I enjoy feeling masculine and fucking feminine women, and the natural interaction that results from this male/female synergy where I assume the greatest part of control and initiate most actions. And I wouldn't exactly call myself a 'dominant' either, to me sex naturally is an act where 'a man does things to a woman', and not the other way around: in most sexual scenarios, if I didn't initiate things and manifest some form of assertiveness there wouldn't have been a whole lot happening.

That said, I do enjoy rough/physical partners, but more in a way where they try to assume control, or where they provide some form of resistance to what I'm performing myself: pushing me away as I'm trying to pin them down, trying to escape my hold as I'm grasping their arms, sitting on my face as some kind of revenge toward all the harsh things I previously did to them, etc. And it's also fun to let them assume some control too every once in a while just to see what they'll do to you, but again this isn't an act of submission as I'm still the one who initiates it and that's in charge. I did indulge in those 'dominatrix' scenarios a few times, but I then assumed the role of the 'potent man that's willingly putting himself at the service of woman', instead of the 'poor little man that must imperatively obey to his woman'.

Regarding all the specific maneuvers mentioned in the OP...

Smacking my ass: I don't mind the sensation, I just don't like it being done to me in a submissive atmosphere. A girl smacking my ass in a mischievous manner to tease me and to attest how firm it is is a nice thing, a girl trying to dominate and/or punish me usually isn't.

Scratch marks: It's not something that I actively seek, but I can tolerate it in some instances. It's not a sensation that particularly thrills me, but in the case of a rougher session I could hardly blame the girl for wanting to release some tension by clenching my back with her nails. That said, I much prefer when it's being done in a passionate/uncontrived manner, rather than a girl that's purposely trying to make me suffer. If I could choose however, I'd go without.

Squeezing my balls: That's a big no-no. This could be extremely dangerous and I don't enjoy a whole lot of focus on my balls anyway.

Tying me up: That's great, assuming that the girl is creative and knows how to make the best out of the situation. Again, I don't exactly see it as an act of submission (I'm often the one that proposes it anyway), it's just fun to let the girl assume full control and observe what she'll do to you when she's perfectly free; a girl could hardly dominate me and tie me up forcefully anyway, often times I'm the one that even instructs her on how to tie me. Funnily enough, according to my experiences this leads to something quite sensual much more often than something harsh: more often than not, the only 'cruel' things that girls do to me is teasing me and playing with orgasm denial.

Tape my mouth shut: I just don't see the point in that, so that's a no. I don't enjoy gagging girls myself either anyway.

Pouring hot wax on me: I absolutely love wax play! It's actually one of my favorite kinks. Contrarily to what many might think, it's not that brutal when you actually know what you're doing (you can read my guide if you need some tips). I just love the sensation, especially when I'm helplessly tied up and the girl is offering a blowjob/handjob at the same time: I adore the thrilling anticipation of hot wax dropping on my torso, the tingling sensation that propagates all over my body as the girl is playing with my dick, the awesome mess it creates, etc. Once more, I don't see it as submissive act at all, it's just something that girls can offer me which I thoroughly enjoy, just like a blowjob or a girl riding my cock isn't quite a proof of submissiveness.
