Well, you won't find anything much bigger and fatter than the ones for which Rick posted the photos. I play a 20/21J and it is an armfull.
I would suggest you get hold of a Rubank Tuba book and look at the fingering chart in the front. When you look at it it, should become obvious from what you will remember from when you played, which key tuba you used. And then, the book will come in very handy in starting back playing. I was away from it since 1967, coming back last year. I started a Rubank book 1, page 1, lesson 1, and went from there.
Have fun - it will come back as you play with it.
