We determine the radii and luminosities of a selection of the large-amplitude Delta Sct stars. Optical and IR photometry and cross-correlated radial-velocity data have been obtained for the large-amplitude Delta Sct stars DY Herculis, EH Librae, and DY Pegasi. Fourier representations for B, V, I, and J light curves and for the radial-velocity curves were used in Baade-Wesselink analyses to derive minimum radii over the pulsation cycles. The resulting radii and their errors, mean bolometric luminosity, and mean absolute bolometric magnitudes are discussed. The Baade-Wesselink analysis yielded R(min) - 2.54 +/- 0.35 solar radii for EH Lib with a radius excursion of 0.098 solar radius. When combined with Joner's (1986) effective temperatures, we found a mean bolometric luminosity of 22.2 solar luminosities and a mean absolute bolometric magnitude of 1.38.
