Mussorgsky's 'Pictures at an Exhibition'
Berlioz's 'Symphnie Fantastique'
Prokofiev's 'Romeo and Juliet' suites
Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances
BTW, I assume from 'traditional classical music' you mean stuff by Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc. If so consider that this music barely scratches the surface of what is available. Knowing this would help you get more recommendations - the possibilities are vast. For example you indicate you want music that is "more dynamic". Have you ever heard Mahler? If not try his 1st Symphony. It's dynamic in spades!
FWIW, while you said you don't want movie tracks, I assume you have heard the music of Korngold and Elmer Bernstein. If not you should before you exclude it. It has its own legs without a movie.
