Anything that can fit e.g. the Xeon Platinum 8180M (https://ark.intel.com/products/120498/Intel-Xeon-Platinum-81...), which supports up to 1.5TB (!) RAM - link two of these on one board and you get 3TB RAM support.

As for the RAM itself - take 12 DDR4 128GB modules, for example https://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/crucial-lrdimm-kit-128gb... , and fit them into three channels of four modules each to get 1536 MB.
