Classical
IronOxide:
If you want 'big' you want Wagner or Vaughan-Williams, ensembles, on the whole, peaked in size around the late romantic/early twentieth century, so you could also be looking at Tchaikovsky, Berlioz, Liszt, and Saint-Saens.
Drill King:
Gustav Holst, The planets. Mars, Bringer of war is used in a lot of metal music actually.

Listen to The Rite of Spring by Stravinsky. People rioted when it was first performed due to how unconventional it was at the time and he ran from the stage crying. It was that awesome.

They're not really genres, they're more of time periods than anything else. You could just wiki it.

Well, that and the violent dancing.
Anyways, on to classical music. There was a bunch of good stuff posted in the mediafire thread like a week or two ago. I would definitely recommend Shostakovich and Stravinsky. Kalinikov is amazing too, but he doesn't have that much stuff, seeing as how he died at 35. Most other romantic composers would suit your style. Anything Brahmmes, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, or Berlioz. Some of the Mahler Symphonies are amazing: I am quite partial to the 3rd (you know, being a trombonist). I would look into some impressionistic composers as well, such as Debussy and Ravel.
