I am wondering if there are any other available cultivars of big pumpkins other than these (over 80 pounds)
Thanks

You got most that I have heard of, exept one. There is a variety from rareseeds.com aka Baker creek seed Co. I get alot of seeds from them. It is called "King of Mammoth"(Mammoth chile). It dates back to 1824, and recorded at over 250lbs. I have never seen it, but it sounds nice.

Thanks
One day I would like to grow them all.
So far I have only tried Big Moon and Big Max.
This year I have Atlantic Giant.
Only so much garden space and I grow other things too.

Also on rareseeds.com there is a pumpkin that it says can grow up to 100 pounds. It's called the Jaune Gros de Paris.Jaune Gros de Parishttp://rareseeds.com/search.php

In the UK they grow Hundred Weight, which will go 100 lbs if you are lucky.

Also you might want to try the Showking Giant Squash, which is the same thing as an Atlantic Giant but green.
