This one may be larger, though it depends on what one means by "largest". It is certainly more powerful.

I agree - the Wärtsilä-Sulzer is both more powerful and longer (but not taller). This steam engine at Kempton from the 1920s is taller: http://www.kemptonsteam.org/history/the-engines/

Still, whichever is largest, all these engines are very impressive.
