Coincidentally, I was approached about those "Emu Point" plants a few weeks back, in terms of supplying a paper trail. I had originally supplied a bunch of those seedlings to Dennis Hastings, some years ago, when we were exchanging a number of Cephalotus. There had never been any claim about their potential size; only, that they were site-specific and colorful. They were quite tiny at the time . . .
The Emu point has always grown very well for me. Anyway here is the quote about it, pulled from a few threads/boards.
Cephalotus follicularis location Emu Point, Albany AU (Also know as Emu Point and/or Emu Point Giant) -

Some seed had also been collected; but those plants were never part of that initial shipment. Apparently, there had been some confusion there.
Many of my plants have produced larger than "average" pitchers; though I have still had "typical" plants, from time to time, produce 2.5-3" leaves -- more a function of age and health, in my opinion, than the provenance of any particular cultivar or clone . . ."
From Dennis
"I have added this plant as an unusual clone because of the history it was given. This plant was seed grown from a mother plant originating in the Emu point region of southern Australia. It has been said the parent plant produced pitchers as large as three inches. Since this has been seed grown, there in no way to emphatically state this plant will grow up to be a giant also. I will keep this plant updated in a set of images to let you know how it does.
I have since learned from the person I received the plant from, that the pitchers on the seed grown plants get to about 2.5 inches tall."
I "believe" Dennis added the "giant" to the end of Emu Point but its just a guess from the information I've been able to collect.
