798M ./.cache/mozilla/firefox/9fu0cuql.default/cache2/entries

Another of the commands comes close to solving your file size needs:
$ find -type f -exec du -Sh {} + | sort -rh | head -n 20
2.8G ./Videos/simplescreenrecorder-2019-11-24_17.20.17.mkv

66M ./android-studio/bin/lldb/lib/liblldb.so.7
63M ./android-studio/jre/jre/lib/rt.jar
62M ./.AndroidStudio3.2/system/caches/content.dat.storageData
61M ./android-studio/lib/idea.jar
57M ./.config/VirtualBox/VBoxGuestAdditions_5.1.38.iso
54M ./Documents/vio.mp4
48M ./android-studio/plugins/android/lib/android.jar
46M ./Downloads/linux-modules-4.14.153-0414153-generic_4.14.153-0414153.201911101449_amd64.deb
45M ./Android/Sdk/platforms/android-28/android.jar
42M ./android-studio/lib/java-impl.jar
In both examples, just tweak the number of lines listed to get files over 100 MB. For example change head -n 20 to head -n 40 to list double the number of files.
