I'm not sure if I understand your question completely, but I guess you
want to vectorize as in:

 x <- 1:10
 y <- 1:10
 res <- -4:5
 plot(x, y, pch = ifelse(res < 0, 20, 1))

points() doesn't know about any arguments called cex.min and cex.max.
If I guess right, you want to extend the above as in:

 plot(x, y, pch = ifelse(res < 0, 20, 1), 
   cex = (4.9 * abs(res) / max(abs(res)) + 0.1))
