background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .6);
box-shadow: 1px 1px 4px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
min-height:120px !important;
}
.navbar-nav > ul, li {
padding: 0px 15px;
}
.contain-pull{
max-width: 93%;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
}
.navbar-nav > li > a, .navbar-brand {
padding-top:50px !important;
padding-bottom:0 !important;
height: 120px;
}
.navbar a {
color: #fff !important;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 14px;

Answer 1

You can simple place your link rules inside of a media query:
#media (min-width: 960px) {
.navbar.navbar-tall .navbar-nav > li > a {
padding-top: 50px;
padding-bottom: 0;
height: 120px;
}
}
This example keeps the link height at the default settings once the navbar has collapsed.
Working Example: Open Example with FullPage and reduce the browser size.
.navbar.navbar-tall {
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .6);
box-shadow: 1px 1px 4px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
min-height: 120px;
border: 0px;
}
.navbar.navbar-tall .navbar-nav > li > a {
color: #fff;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: 300px;
font-family: 'Oswald', sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
}
.navbar.navbar-tall .navbar-nav > li > a:hover {
color: #258faf;
}
.navbar.navbar-tall .navbar-brand {
padding-top: 50px;
padding-bottom: 0;
height: 120px;
}
#media (min-width: 960px) {
.navbar.navbar-tall .navbar-nav > li > a {
padding-top: 50px;
padding-bottom: 0;
height: 120px;
}
}
#media (max-width: 959px) and (min-width: 768px) {
.navbar.navbar-fixed-bottom .navbar-collapse,
.navbar.navbar-fixed-top .navbar-collapse {
max-height: auto;
overflow-x: visible;
}
}
#media (max-width: 959px) {
.navbar .navbar-header {
float: none;
}
.navbar .navbar-left,
.navbar .navbar-right {
float: none !important;
}
.navbar .navbar-right {
margin-right: 0px;
}
.navbar .navbar-right~.navbar-right {
margin-right: 0;
}
.navbar .navbar-toggle {
display: block;
margin-top: 42.50px;
}
.navbar .navbar-collapse {
border-top: 1px solid transparent;
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1);
}
.navbar.navbar-fixed-top {
top: 0;
border-width: 0 0 1px;
}
.navbar .navbar-collapse.collapse {
display: none!important;
overflow: visible!important;
}
.navbar .navbar-nav {

}
.navbar .navbar-nav>li {

.navbar .navbar-nav>li>a {
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
.navbar .collapse.in {
display: block !important;
overflow-y: auto;
}
.navbar .navbar-nav .dropdown-menu > li > a,
.navbar .navbar-nav .dropdown-menu > li > a:hover,

Answer 2

it is normal that the height you put for large screen for the navbar (120px) will be seen in the small devices.
Keep the height of the Navbar small.
Incase if you want to increase height of navbar in large device you can play with
padding of the <a> (anchor inside the nav)
If you observe the toggle button in html it throws a class;
class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse"
and when the toggle-button is open it throws the class as;
class="navbar-collapse collapse in"
now according to as above class you can style your navbar <a>tags.
i hope this heps you in something to trying to achieve.
