(I only have 64GB, but that’s my answer. Firefox still eventually runs out of memory and crashes, BTW. Not blaming the browser itself; I think there’s a memory leak in the JS in some of the tabs I keep open.)
Virtualization work, also helps a with memory leaks with games occasionally. I’ve had 64GB RAM since 2011 with the x79 boards and never went below that quantity. RAM was cheap so why not.
What does one use that much DDR for?
Web browser tabs.

Interesting. I use tons of bookmarks and close tabs/firefox frequently so I often forget that web browsers are capable of using that much memory.
