I'm going to re-interpret your question.

I never went beyond medium format. In fact, at one point I was blowing 
up  tiny 11mm ISO 400 Minox negatives in darkroom to 11 x 14!

I have images that have great slabs of 100%k in them, washing over the 
print. One like this is considered one of my best prints. Sometimes I 
am VEEERY carefull about my histograms. <shrug>

The most important thing to me in improving my images is learning when 
to follow the rules and when to throw them out the window judiciously.
