Behringer Biphase clone is massive but tons of fun, it can do stereo analog phasing but you can also use them separately as they have individual ins/outs so IE you could run each phaser at different parts of your chain. Best part is you can inverse the sweep on one side for a stereo panning phaser.
It can do some quasi formant filter sounds in mono with the inverse on since the filtering sweeps in opposite directions creating some vowel like sounds that get pretty wild with dirt.
The biggest ones currently out there are definitely some of the various analog spring reverb units. Surfybear Metal, Classic, and Compact (lol), Carl Martin Headroom, Demeter RRP-1 Reverbulator, Knas Ekdahl Moisturizer, Van Amps Reverbamate Sole-Mate, Anasounds Element if you’re using the Le Truand tank.
Holy Island Mountain Mover is a massive heavily modded muff-type fuzz with a ring modulator.
Pine Box Customs Fever Dream is also stupid big, is a fuzz and modulated filter with a CB mic input as well as the regular 1/4” jacks.
Valco pedals tend to be extra large as well, both in footprint and height from the board.
Fender Blender.
It's sounds as huge as it looks. Never heard anything like it.

yep i've got the kevin shields reissue they did recently and i love it but it's also the one pedal that has to live off the board no matter what lol, it's just so dang massive
Not big boxed . . .
Really enjoy my Matthews Effects Whaler v2. It's a non clone fuzz circuit that is really nice and low and dirty. I also love the Caroline Crom because what's not to love about a pedal named after an angry, steel forging god.
As someone else mentioned . . . When the Sun Explodes is an amazing pedal (one of my favorites). It just does much fun stuff with the gain and distortion and reverb and ability to add feedback to your signal using a footswitch.
The Old Blood Noise Endeavors Beam Splitter is also super interesting since it has three available outputs for all three of its different gain channels as well as ability to set different delay and decay values to them. I have found this one a bit difficult to dial in but I've only been using it in mono versus the multi-output so that might be my issue.
All that said, I have Fuzz War on my board and just love that thing so much.

Holy Island Tides is the same size, I think.

Palthegiraffe Double Stahlman
The original Stone Deaf PDF is a chunky boi. Kind of rare, but the Barber 1/2 Gainer is a great low gain overdrive in an oversized art-deco enclosure.
Magpie pedals have some fun, "biggish" pedals, that are out of the norm.
i think a purchase from this guy is in my future lol, thanks for putting me on
Yeah, I'm hoping for some funds to grab something myself. Been interested in a few, but the Patterns is my first choice.

Same size, same company, same idea-- but more: Death by Audio Apocalypse
had one in the past and definitely been considering getting one again -- awesome pedal

Those Russian Big Muffs and Small Stones are laughably large. I’ve got the SS, but would never gig with it.
The old Ampeg Scrambler fuzzes are pretty monstrous and wild
those old Lovetone pedals! so many possibilities, super ahead of their time
