You could put more smaller upper stages to some big rockets. And finally tank the spacecraft itself with a lot of hydrazine so it can fo course corrections later.

There is another option though. There's a tanker version of Musk's BFR being designed for filling up Mars bound rockets or propellant depots in low earth orbit. You could instead refill the tanker or two or three and stage them. Or use the Mars bound stage.
