Well, Demetrius has already mentioned Total Annihilation. Thousands of units per battle? Yes please. And the successor comes out on the 16th, as Supreme Commander.
Starcraft has the colorful units, but is short on the massive battles and has crippled gameplay and interface; WC3 is even worse. So not those.
Homeworld (the original) is good, but probably not what you're looking for. Although 150-capital-ship-per-side battles are fairly impressive.
Spellforce is also good but has fairly low unit limits (~60 per side per map) and thus is short on the massive battles. It's also not a pure RTS but an RTS/RPG hybrid.
The
Total War series has plenty of massive battles, but I've never played them and thus can't say how good they are.
Act of War: Direct Action, despite the initially unpromising premise, is actually pretty good; but while very shiny it tends to focus on small action-packed battles rather than large ones.
The Dark Reign games are in the same boat as FooCraft: nice idea, terrible execution.
Don't appear to have any other RTSes on mind worth mentioning at the moment.
