Probably too late, but just wanted to put the solution out there:

set terminal postscript size 12, 10 enhanced color
set output 'worked.eps'
plot 'file_with_57k_rows_and_400_columns.tsv' matrix with image

Apparently postrscript terminal works but eps or png don't. This will result in big eps file size, but ps2pdf may be handy later.
