The tuba is the biggest brass instrument used in a symphony orchestra.

(There are some very rare special pieces of music where a composer might call for an instrument that is not normally in an orchestra. For example, there is a family of brass instruments called ophicleides that were used in the 1800's, and those came in many sizes, including ones as big as the tuba.)
