I am trying to reproduce as closely as possible the large double
quotes in the attached file.

Here are two solutions, one uses the delimitedtext mechanism. The
quotation marks are not printed within the quoted text, though.
The second solution using the annotation module fixes that.

\usemodule
  [annotation]

\definesymbol
  [MyLeftQuote]
  [\raisebox-10pt\hbox\bgroup\getscaledglyph
    {2.5}     %% scale
    {Serif}   %% font
    {“}\egroup]

\definesymbol
  [MyRightQuote]
  [\raisebox-10pt\hbox\bgroup\getscaledglyph
    {2.5}     %% scale
    {Serif}   %% font
    {”}\egroup]

\setupdelimitedtext
  [quotation]
  [left={\symbol[MyLeftQuote]},
   right={\symbol[MyRightQuote]}]

\defineannotation
  [quotationTwo]
  [alternative=command,
   command=\QuotationCmd]

\define[2]\QuotationCmd
  {\dontleavehmode\symbol[MyLeftQuote]%%
   \placeannotationcontent\symbol[MyRightQuote]}

\starttext
  \startquotation
    \input ward
  \stopquotation

  \startquotationTwo
    \input ward
  \stopquotationTwo
\stoptext
