Well, the Avro Lincoln was probably a good bit heavier than the 17, and
also probably the Lancaster, but I think maybe the Focke Wulf 200 was a bit
bigger than either. It certainly had more range, though probably not the
payload of even the 17.
The postwar Avor Tudor is the only other giant taildragger I can think of
that might be in competition wiht those. I can't think of any Russian
aircraft that might be in contention, but if anyone could have, it would
have been them!

The 17 would still be heavier, if we stuffed your fat ass in it.

Like, say, the Petlyakov Pe-8? AKA the TB-7? It was the only four-engine
bomber the Soviets had during WW II. Its max takeoff weight was 35,000
kg vs a bit less than 30,000 kg for the B-17. 39 meter wingspan vs 32
meters. A photo:
