How tremendous? You mean there is a sudden unexpected size increase
between those particular resolutions, compared to other resolution
changes? That could suggest some software problem...

If a lossless format is desired, why not using PNG with maximum
compression instead of TIFF?
I don't remember any reason for 300 dpi, 600 dpi and a few other
resolutions to be "special" in any way concerning image files and
manipulation algorithms... (except for bein related to the resolution
of some printing and scanning devices and sometimes explicitly listed in
program menus for convenience).
