I brought this subject up in class. Chuck says he doesn't think there's anything in the code about it. the closest thing I could come up with was clamps -- so you'd relate it to the largest conductor in the box. But I'm a baby too. i like over sized boxes. db
The Code doesn't cover every possible aspect. The size of the splicing devices does not seem to be covered. You could have a minimum sized junction box, and connect the wires with big blue wire nuts and have trouble getting it all in.
I'm also a believer in oversized boxes. The code minimum size box is the smallest box that everything can be stuffed into. Labor saved will usually be more than money spent on a bit more comfortable fit.
