Look at the volume of a tuba--it takes gallons upon gallons of air just to fill it up! Since it's the biggest, it just plain takes more air.

Also, because of its huge mouthpiece size and its wider pipes, there is very little air resistance. That's why a tuba player's poor lungs have to keep pumping out the air so fast.
