Hi Pckts, you remember me? I am the guy who publishes size comparisons and who sent the image of the 103 kg leopard.
I wanted to ask you a question. Many sites saybthat bengal tigers average 226 kgs while others say that males average 235 kgs and that  as example, Kaziranga Bengal tigers average around 250 kgs because of high prey presence and conservation efforts.

Which of these is true? And also, about siberian tigers, is it true that today they average only 174-203 kgs and that an amur tiger above 220 kg is rare? Are bengal tigers the biggest today?

"Bengal" is a very broad term.
Depending on the location, Bengals can be different sizes but generally an average male from C/S India will be between 185kg-220kg with larger males being 225kg plus. 
Also depending on if the animal is empty or not will make a difference too.

Kaziranga males haven't been weighed so we can only make estimates but my opinion is that they're probably the heaviest Tigers alive today with Terai Boys in the mix too. 
Amurs are smaller today but it's a very minimal data base, I have little doubt that if we'd have more weights to go off of I'm sure they'd have some larger weights. If their captive genes are anything to go off of then I'm sure wild ones can still get large too. 
In terms of weight, Bengals are the largest Tigers alive today.


Hope this helps
