Just looked at your photos again and based on the open petiole AND the fact that it is not dropping the bracts of the inflorescence by itself, my first thought of it being a Raja Puri seems to be a good possibility. Is that the one you mentioned to be about 2' taller than my Dwarf Brazilian ? Both have very similar traits ( red pin stripe on the half open petiole), Raja Puri leaves are usually known to be wider than other varieties.
Just my 2 cents, but I am no expert...
