Depending on how much work you want to put into this, you may be able to edit the
Glow buttons--they're just .png images located under share/apps/twin/glow-themes .
Actually, by editing the included .theme files, you may be able to swap in images of
your choice at sizes of your choice for that theme.
Or maybe hit it from the other end and change the titlebar colour to something that
provides better contrast?

twin-styles under tdeartwork, from the looks of
it. Not sure what the exact package
names for you would be (I'm on Gentoo).
I tried on a *bunutu installation. Those were missing there too, so I installed
these packages:
tdeartwork-style-trinity
tdeartwork-theme-icon-trinity
tdeartwork-theme-window-trinity
and then was able in Window Decorations to get bigger icons using Smooth Blend. :-)
Unfortunately, in both Glow and Smooth Blend, those icons provide almost no
contrast with the titlebar's background color, which virtually eliminates any
advantage over the tiny Plastik defaults' better foreground color and thus
contrast. :-(
