Yes, there are different size Min Pins. For example I breed Tiny Min Pins. I have seen them from 3.5 lbs to 20 lbs. Thats a Huge range. Just look around the web. I've never heard the term large breed in Min's though.

Miniature Pinscher Breed Standard per the AKC, and The Miniature Pinscher Club of America:
Size: 10 inches to 12½ inches in height allowed, with desired height 11 inches to 11½ inches measured at highest point of the shoulder blades. Disqualification: Under 10 inches or over 12½ inches in height.
There is no weight guideline, only height. Any dog should be of a healthy weight, and the appropriate weight for each dog varies depending on the build of the dog. A finer boned dog would weigh less than a sturdier boned dog of the same height.
Generally from my experience, a fine boned 10 inch dog weighs around 6 lbs, and a larger boned 12 1/2 inch dog can weigh around 13 lbs.
