Any size. Obviously larger sizes allow for the larger Gravatar thumbnails looking crisp, but there is no requirement. You are at the mercy of users if you're using others' Gravatars. Developers use common sense when displaying them and it's rare to use more than 300x300.

"You may request images anywhere from 1px up to 2048px, however note that many users have lower resolution images, so requesting larger sizes may result in pixelation/low-quality images."
