Carmina Burana- Carl Orff
anything by Tchaikovsky
Night on bald mountain-Muggorski
Not too sure on the pipe organ stuff as I don't currently have anything solely for that. Try someplace like media play or barnes and noble they will have a better classical selection than most mainstream music stores.

Rachmaninoff
Try Saint-Saens Symphony #3 "The Organ Symphony"
Rachmaninoff "Symphonic Dances"
Bartok "Concerto for Orchestra"
Berg "Lulu"*
*I'm kidding about the Berg. Sounds like noise to most people. It's the kind of CD you put on just to watch people's faces when you pretend to like it. I don't know what's in the libretto for this opera, but it sounds like a visit to the dentist's office. However -- when you reach the point where you can listen to anything by Schoenberg, Webern, or Berg, with a straight face, and it actually makes some sort of musical sense to you, then you know you're truly arrived. Myself, I still giggle.

Bach's Toccata and Fugues
I play his "Eight Little Preludes and Fugues" a lot, they are awesome

Yes. Find his 2nd concerto performed by Idil Biret. Crank the beginning, it's like a fucking ocean building up to a tsunami in slow motion.
Also, his prelude Op. 32 no. 10 in Bminor is also has a powerful middle section.
