OK, so I tried to test it in practice, starting from 120 MB down to 25 MB. The largest that went through had 35 MB; the larger ones bounced with:

That makes sense, because the attachment is going to be base64 encoded within the email and thus the size is inflated by 33%. This results in the size being roughly 47 MB in size.
