Actually, his rosie is about 5in, so not all of his Ts are abnormally large. Good luck getting your rosie to 15in. ;)

the largest i have seen in person is my P. ornata. Closest measurement i can get is 9.5" ls and pretty bulky. Ryan had one that beat that pretty easily at close to if not more than 12"(if memory serves )
I think RobC has one close to 11"
but I haven't seen all arboreal's. and do not forget there are probably a lot that are as of yet unidentified, and or not in the hobby/

my mature female A. huriana recently moulted and is huge.
My geusstimate from holding my hand opposite her on the side of the tank would put her easily at 7.5 inches, maybe even 8 inches...I will try to measure her soon with a ruler.

I always thought they were Haplopelma.

Apparently, they're Cyriopagopus.

LOL, Me too. haha

But I think the "bulkiest" arboreal is a species recently introduced to the hobby. The Borneo Black. I forget the scientific name. I think it might start with an L. Never owned one so I don't know for sure.
