Paste this in a math environment at the top of the document:

\newcommand{\bigtimes}{\mathop{\Large\times\normalsize}}

Thank you! I was looking for this.

Then , , can be written via

$\newcommand{\bigplus}{\mathop{\Large+\normalsize}} \bigplus_{i \in I}Vi$
$\newcommand{\bigdot}{\mathop{\Large•\normalsize}} \bigdot_{i \in I}Vi$
$\newcommand{\bigmult}{\mathop{\Large*\normalsize}} \bigmult_{i \in I}Vi$
