I used to grow Romeo tomatoes. The largest one I got was 24 ounces. But it was a "double" tomato.
Here is a photo of the double Romeo next to a Potato Top of the same weight (24 ounces).
Romeo is a very good paste tomato with next to no gel, very few seeds (about 25 or 30 at most per tomato), and a decent flavor for a dry paste tomato.
I got my original seeds from Peters Seed Research before that company went defunct.
And here is a photo of more typically sized Romeo tomatoes, most of which ran from about 8 ounces to 16 ounces consistently.
