Check out Medtner.  There are the Sonatas, the Skazka, and many more works for piano.

What about some of Faure's smaller pieces?  Some are musically quite mature, but most are not too technically abusive.  His nocturnes are all ravishing.

As far as sonatas go, are you looking for a romantic sonata or a sonata in general?  Any of the Mozart Sonata's would likely be a good choice at your current level.
