The Tsar Bomba, correctly called the AN602, detonated by the former USSR on October 30, 1961, had a yield of about 50 megatons. The design was actually for 100 megatons, but the USSR dialed it back to 50 to reduce fallout.
Most Teller-Ulam designs are capable of about 25 megatons, but that is a strategic level and is no longer in use. Most tactical weapons are in the sub megaton range, but details remain classified.
