There are fixed rate taxis. Rates are published on the Narita Airport website. The fare depends on the ward you're heading to, ranging from 18,000-21,000 yen for the areas where most Flyertalkers stay. That's 6,000-9,000 yen more than the limousine bus fare for four people.
I think LapLap has had good experiences with Tokyo Airporter when she was arranging travel for a group with a lot of luggage. Many taxi companies have larger cars and mini-vans that can accommodate a family with luggage.
