Jarmo I need to have streamers which have large silhouette, but which
Jarmo I can cast with a 5wt or a 6wt line. ... (If you have strong
Jarmo doubts about this, please let me know.)

Eh, I have to clarify this before anyone even tries to answer. Of
course it is possible to use, say, a 5wt line if the hook size is
small enough. But I have the desire to go as high as hook size 4. (The
article I read claims that this is realistic.)

The Rangely style streamers have constructed wings of feather fibre, and
this makes them rather difficult to cast with light gear. I only ever tried
a couple in this style, and then gave up on them. If you want large
streamers which can be cast with light gear, I would suggest you go for
synthetics, or at least hair wings. Tube flies are also a good alternative.
