In the past I felt and was told that 35mm negs could not be printed to big, I think thats a load of hooey (technical term) now. I find that 35mm negs printed to 16x20, 20x24 or even larger look better printed that size, the grain really becomes part of the structure of the picture a detailed fingerprint of the moment. Look at the wonderful large 35mm portraits from a Salgado show below, these look to be printed on 20x24 paper and they look freaking great.
Here is a link to the site where the show was held, possibly a place I could eventually submit to.
