The concert band I play in had a similar problem when we expanded from about 25 to about 50. Our solution: we no longer play the smaller venues. This means fewer performance opportunities, but it also means we don't have to exclude anyone. We have also made more of an effort to find larger venues.
One thing you could do: establish what could be called 'standard subsets' of the band: clarinet choir, flute choir, wind quintet, jazz band, German band, Dixieland combo, etc. Over the years, I've played in several smaller venues with such ensembles.
These groups would have to acquire their own repertoire and rehearse on their own, but those are logistical problems which can be solved.
