Default wrench to drive adjustable reamer?

A few weeks back I posted instructions for using adjustable reamers. In using
one recently, I came to realize that I need a bigger two-handled wrench to
handle the adjustable reamers. Musing, I then realized that I could use a simple
60° center to hold the top of a tall wrench, centering it over the hole. This
would be great, but sadly I don't have a tap wrench big enough to hold most of
my reamers, that takes a center on the top. I do have what I believe a Starrett
93C which is the largest centered tap wrench I know of. It will hold a No. E
adjustable reamer, but not a No. F, sadly.

Are there any tap wrenches that can be centered and which will hold larger
square shanks than a Starrett 93C?
