A so-called "magnetic" loop is defined as one smaller than about 1/3 wl in circumference. Bigger than that is a loop, but has a different pattern -- and you are correct that the voltage across tuning components is lower.

I'm no expert on loops, but isn't the voltage lower on a BIG loop?

The problem with the magloop is that it's hard to build one that can
handle more than about 100 watts. The voltage across the capacitor
gets astronomical!

Don't discard the magnetic loop as a possibility:
