I'm using raw HTTP access to the API (no client library) and the
pictures are also limited to 96x96. I guess its a limit on Google's
side and surely they will update it sometime soon, as more and more
smartphones can sync contacts with Google. I'm keeping a repository of
bigger pictures on my own side in the meantime, and maybe you could do
the same if at all posible.
