No. In fact, this is how they are defined in core-mat.tex
\def\@@dobig#1#2%
{{\hbox{$\left#2\vbox\!!to#1\bodyfontsize{}\right.\n@space$}}}
\def\big {\@@dobig{0.85}}
\def\Big {\@@dobig{1.15}}
\def\bigg{\@@dobig{1.45}}
\def\Bigg{\@@dobig{1.75}}
math-tex redefines \big etc, but it is just a cosmetic change.
\def\PLAINbig {\@@dobig{0.85}}
\def\PLAINBig {\@@dobig{1.15}}
\def\PLAINbigg{\@@dobig{1.45}}
\def\PLAINBigg{\@@dobig{1.75}}
and then
\definemathcommand [big] {\PLAINbig}
\definemathcommand [Big] {\PLAINBig}
\definemathcommand [bigg] {\PLAINbigg}
\definemathcommand [Bigg] {\PLAINBigg}
So perhaps all you can do is define something like
\definemathcommand [MYBIG] {\@@dobig{6}}
% Change 6 to something that gives a good visual effect.
or exploit the matrix environment as Wolfgang suggested.
Hans, can we get rid of the definition of \big etc from core-mat.tex?
Are \big etc supposed to work in text mode also?
