You are asking about something that people in the north east consider close to the ultimate secret My uncle grows them and I get told nothing about how to grow the really big ones. All I want to do is eat the damn things not show, and I am 250 mile from him

Show leeks tend to be grown from the bulbils, they get a bit of an extra start that way. Medwyn Williams has a web site and has grown show leeks for some time, give it a go.

The site has seeds that he has (supposidly) developed for size.
