Have a look at Bike Box Alan. I've got an ISP Scott Addict and after send them various measurements they confirmed it would fit in one the standard boxes.
The new Polaris EVA Pod Plus, unveiled a couple of weeks back at Core Bike, might be the box you are looking for. Some good feedback in the industry about it. Looks stylish too - if that is possible for a bike box!
The Scicon Aerotech Evolution TSA bag can go up to a 62cm frame but you have to mostly disassemble the bike (remove wheels, pedals, rotate handlebars) but everything is tightly strapped in and there's usually room for your helmet, shoes, and some kit (our frames are only 46 and 56). About double the price of the Polaris but totally bulletproof packaging if you're worried about your 2-wheeled baby. They pretty much set the standard on hard cases that everyone else is trying to match.
Is that a Wilier with an ISP?
It's a Gran Turismo, so technically no... Although it has what they call a semi-integrated seatpost which means the seat tube extends quite a long way above the top tube. Still uses a conventional seatpost though.
I've used the Polaris Pod Pro with both a 64cm Trek frame and an XXL Wilier with no real issues. I had to take the bars off (as usual) and the rear mech but no extra disassembly required.
Polaris have a new box called the EVA Pod Plus

they had it at Core with a 64cm frame in it and they didn't even need to take the seatpost out
You are right on the limit with a 61cm frame for most bike boxes.
The Polaris Bike Pod Pro is one of the larger ones. Which quotes "A 61cm traditional road bike will easily fit in a Bike Pod Pro"

My guess would be, either that or Bike Box Alan are your only bets. Unless you want to go down the soft case route?
Just thinking, another option is something more rectangular, like the Thule 836, they can easily fit large frames, but they cost more and at alot heavier
While I realise this is quite an old thread, just in case anyone else comes across it.
The New Shokbox Classic range will accommodate frames up to 62 cm without additional dismantling
