The research for depression used much lower doses of ketamine than recreational use. One UK clinic was using about 80 mg as a max dose. https://www.oxfordhealth.nhs.uk/news/first-uk-study-of-ketam...

A large recreational dose may be 250 mg.

This is partly because the recreational dose is looking for different effects, so they use more. And because people build up a tolerance.

It’s also a result of ketamine typically being used in the context of other drugs, especially stimulants.
