FORMULA
It seems that a(n) is asymptotic to c*n with 52 < c < 54.
EXAMPLE
tau(117) = 6 > 4 = tau(118), phi(117) = 72 > 58 = phi(118), and sigma(117) = 182 > 180 = sigma(118); hence 117 is in the sequence.
MAPLE
N:= 200: # to get the first N terms
prev:= [numtheory:-tau, numtheory:-phi, numtheory:-sigma](1):
count:= 0:
for n from 2 while count < N do
tps:= [numtheory:-tau, numtheory:-phi, numtheory:-sigma](n);
if min(prev - tps) > 0 then count:= count+1; A[count]:= n-1 fi;
prev:= tps;
