"how can we find out which banks have the greatest derivative exposure?"

I found this, a few months old, but probably a close approximation:

occ.treas.gov

I'm not exactly sure what I'm reading, but ...

Looks like as of June 2007 5 banks have >95% of the derivative contracts:

JPMORGAN CHASE
BANK OF AMERICA
CITIBANK
WACHOVIA
HSBC

It's in the hundreds of trillions .... scary.
