'find /home -size +20000k' will accomplish this search.

Another handy command line is 'du -a /home| sort -nr | head' which prints
your top 20 or so largest files.

You didn't mention whether your home directory is on the same partition as
/var (or some other likely culprit). The output of 'df' would help pin this
down.
