There are quite a few species that produce very large pitchers, and individuals that produce monster ones. For example, rafflesiana is not often credited for being a species that produces the largest pitchers, and most are fairly average. But the largest pitcher I've have ever seen was a raff. Rajah, merrilliana, sibuyanensis, sumatrana, truncata, even macrophylla and burbidgeae can produce very large pitchers.
In short, I doubt you could say that any one species produces the largest pitchers. There are many, and you can never discount a species which normally doesn't produce large pitchers producing an enormous one.

Every now and then, a single plant will produce a huge pitcher, like NepGrowers picture. Not every pitcher on that plant was that size It will vary. There is a handful of species that consistently produce large pitchers, and every now and then a monster sized pitcher. Hamish listed the species capable of the "monster" pitcher in the above post.
