  Triangular lattice quantum antiferromagnet has recently emerged to be a
promising playground for realizing Dirac spin liquids (DSLs) -- a class of
highly entangled quantum phases hosting emergent gauge fields and gapless Dirac
fermions. While previous theories and experiments focused mainly on $S=1/2$
spin systems, more recently signals of a DSL were detected in an $S=3/2$ system
$\alpha$-CrOOH(D). In this work we develop a theory of DSLs on triangular
lattice with spin-$S$ moments. We argue that in the most natural scenario, a
spin-$S$ system realizes a $U(2S)$ DSL, described at low energy by gapless
Dirac fermions coupled with an emergent $U(2S)$ gauge field (also known as
$U(2S)$ QCD$_3$). An appealing feature of this scenario is that at sufficiently
large $S$, the $U(2S)$ QCD becomes intrinsically unstable toward spontaneous
symmetry breaking and confinement. The confined phase is simply the
$120^{\circ}$ coplanar magnetic order, which agrees with semiclassical
(large-$S$) results on simple Heisenberg-like models. Other scenarios are
nevertheless possible, especially at small $S$ when quantum fluctuations are
strong. For $S=3/2$, we argue that a $U(1)$ DSL is also theoretically possible
and phenomenologically compatible with existing measurements. One way to
distinguish the $U(3)$ DSL from the $U(1)$ DSL is to break time-reversal
symmetry, for example by adding a spin chirality term
$\vec{S}_i\cdot(\vec{S}_j\times\vec{S}_k)$ in numerical simulations: the $U(1)$
DSL becomes the standard Kalmeyer-Laughlin chiral spin liquid with
semion/anti-semion excitation; the $U(3)$ DSL, in contrast, becomes a
non-abelian chiral spin liquid described by the $SU(2)_3$ topological order,
with Fibonacci-like anyons.
