OK try this:
(disclaimer - if you mess things up, don't blame me. always back up any system files you edit. Don't attempt this if you don't know what XML, backing-up and preferences are)
Locate your preferences (Home > library > Preferences) folder, and back-up the file 'com.apple.dock.plist'. then open the original file in a text editor (not textedit - that's an Rich Text Format editor, you want something like BBEdit Lite, which is free from Bare Bones Software)
You will see, towards the top of the file (which is in XML code), a couple of lines like this:
<key>largesize</key>
<real>8.200000000000000e+01</real>
These define the size of the icons in the dock when they are magnified under the mouse. Set the number to something like 30.200000000000000e+01, and save the file. Log out and back in again to restart the dock, and you now have insane big icons when you put your mouse over it.
Lookie:
