All instruments can be played standing up or sitting down. "Should" is very subjective, and practically useless.

Traditionally, the following instruments are played standing, either because of the size of the instrument or because of the need to move between instruments (or dance around like a madman) of a family:

-String Bass

-Percussion

-Electric Guitars and bass

Some older instruments, by the way, do require standing up, like the great-contra-bass recorder, which, in fact, requires standing on a box! However, in modern practice, even tympani are often played sitting on a high stool, and trap-arranged drum kits by a player on a 'throne'.

Oh yes. And in certain groups, soloists are generally "highlighted" by standing up to play their solos. This is, however, a temporary thing, and while the audience may feel that they _should_ stand to play, it is not anymore of a requirement than any of those above.
