Well, I can tell you that "rezzing up smaller ( < 1920x1200 ) screenshots" isn't going to be a very good way to go. The ladies will be distracted by the blurry mess and their disorientation and confusion would not wow them in the way you're looking for 
You can stretch it to a certain point, but for a decently high quality print it's not going to work for anything more than something that's around 6-7 inches wide and 4-5 inches high without degrading the quality too much. The only people who know how to enlarge a image to the size you're talking about with perfect clarity are the guys on TV shows like CSI And they're not sharing their purely made up techniques with the rest of us. Jerks 
So you're left with trying to figure out how to take truly gigantic screenshots. And there I can't help you.
In Champions, you can up you resolution to 2 or 3x your screen's rez in order to get really crisp shots.
Isn't there something like that here? You can certainly get bigger if you start bigger!

Well, I did a few panoramic screenshots of a few different zones, but that's not quite what you're looking for, I feel.|

So, with guaranteeing the failure of any pooty-tang achievement trophies in my immediate future, do any of you experienced Photoshop Gods and Goddesses have any secret techniques or tips for creating really large and detailed screenshots, or rezzing up smaller ( < 1920x1200 ) screenshots? |
It MAY be possible to use demorecord combined with the demodump replay function and setting a HUGE screen resolution in the playback shortcut to get obscene resolution dumps, but I don't know. Have a play yourself and become the resident expert on it

Have you considered PMing David Nakayama, or one of the other art Devs?
They'd be most likely to know.
Be Well!
