I mean, you don't even have to look very far. Gavin's faucet used to give out 5 BTC at a time.

Yes, this faucet was the biggest known.

Amount given per claim: 5 BTC

Daily distribution limit: Initially around 1,100 BTC/day

Around 19.000 BTC distributed.

BTC price at the time: Less than $0.01 to a few cents per BTC

Today’s value: Over $1.2 billion USD

Largest BTC payout per claim in history (5 BTC per person).

Other that I used at the time:
Freebitco.in (2013–present): Longest-running faucet, since some time there is a problem with withdrawals, wheel of fortune spins not credited anymore.

Moon Bitcoin, Cointiply, and BonusBitcoin popular back then as well but paid only fractions of a cent worth of BTC.

Gavin’s faucet helped seed thousands of early Bitcoin adopters.
Like the Bitcoin pizza day, I see this very important for the adoption of bitcoin.
