There might be a plug-in that does this, but nothing immediately comes to mind.

I get around this problem by using the Fughetta font for all note heads. It has 
a number of choices for each type of note head and they are generally larger 
than what you get from Maestro and Engraver. (Which is why I use it.)

But before you jump into that solution, beware that there are many other 
headaches that come from not using Maestro. You have to commit to using 
Fughetta and make sure the FAN file is up to date and in the right folder, stem 
connections need adjusting, string harmonics playback won't work as advertised 
and portability of files can be an issue. [You will be tempted to just 
"Fughetta bout it!"]

If you do switch to something like Fughetta for your note head font, then 
TGTools has a plug-in that can globally change all your diamond note heads to 
another, larger substitute.
