Hello handz,

You can do a short search in the Piano Street forum to find other topics of the same nature. For example, just a few weeks ago, someone posted nearly the exact same question. There were quite a few good pieces that fit your criteria in this post. Here is the link: https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php?topic=61064.0

FYI both Brahms and Rachmaninoff penned some very dramatic pieces. Start there.

list
I To entice the audience -
 II For romantic ladies -
 III In case of success
- IV In case of triumph -

 V In case of delirium
