You could of course change your style sheet to make normal equal to 1, but then all other symbols (markers) will also appear much smaller.

It seems easiest if you simply change your symbols.   You don't have to modify them - simply surround them by a group with a scaling factor, e.g.:

<symbol name="mysymbol(sfpx)">
<group matrix="0.333 0 0 0.333">
... your symbol here
</group></symbol>

If your symbol is already a group then of course you can just add the scaling matrix there.
