among the recently deceased, Takemitsu, Ligeti, Dutilleux, Carter and Davies come to mind (and Boulez, of course). Still living are Ned Rorem, Philip Glass, John Corigliano, Peteris Vasks, John Adams, Aarvo Part, and George Crumb, to name a few of my favorites.
It's harder to put the careers of younger composers in perspective. I often like what I hear, but seldom can one talk about "towering achievements" without historical perspective.
