Hi Dmitriy,
the size-related arguments to \switchtobodyfont and
\setupbodyfont aren’t real TeX dimensions but identifiers for
predefined bodyfont sets. Example:
\def\mainfontsize{20pt}
\definebodyfontenvironment [\mainfontsize]
\starttext
TEXT
\switchtobodyfont [\mainfontsize]
TEXT 20pt
\stoptext

Best regards,
Philipp
