Hello Martin, Pierre & list,
As Martin said I forgot the Kunya-Urgench main mass. Respect the St. Severin mentioned by Pierre, 271kg was the total mass (8 stones), it is not the weight of the largest single mass of this meteorite. But if the information in the "Blue Book" is correct, a mass of 197kg remain in the MHN of París. Please may somebody in France confirm this information?
So, at the moment the list could be:

Jilin (China) - 1,770kg
Norton County (U.S.A.) - 1,070kg
Kunya-Urgench (Turkmenistan) – 900kg
Paragould (U.S.A.) - 373kg
Hugoton (U.S.A.) - 325kg
Knyahinya (Ukraine) - 293kg
Estacado (U.S.A.) - 290kg
Tsarev (Russia) - 284kg
Morland (U.S.A.) - 283kg
Clovis I (U.S.A.) - 283kg
Río Limay (Argentina) - 280kg
Alfianello (Italy) - 228kg
Moshesh (South Africa) - 200kg
St. Severin (France) – 197kg
Djati-Pengilon (Indonesia) - 166kg
Garabato (Argentina) - 160kg
Saratov (Russia) - 159kg
Glasatovo (Russia) - 150kg
Dhurmsala (India) - 150kg
Montferre (France) - 149kg
Bluff (U.S.A.) - 145kg
Molina (Spain) - 144kg
