You only have to store a single 340-bit password (or something equivalent) in order to secure something with a 340-bit password. You can do this by, for example, writing down a 103-bit number on paper, which you can do on a business card with a pencil. Your argument seems to depend on the defender needing to store all possible 340-bit passwords, which they don't.
