In regard to Bruckner Fifth recordings, it strikes me that the recordings you've mentioned (one of which, Harnoncourt, I really do like BTW) tend to feature interpretations which move the music along (even Klemperer AFAIR, although I haven't heard it in decades). So I'm wondering if you might want to try a slower, more massive recording - something like Celibidache/Munich on EMI/Warner? I see jdaniel mentioned the Sinopoli/SkD recording on DG - I have that one and need to re-listen to it. In general, I was pretty happy with what Sinopoli did in Dresden via recordings.
One performance from 2007 that flew under my radar is this one:
I think van Zweden has another, more recent recording with the same orchestra on the Challenge Classics label too, but I just ordered this earlier Exton album. I'll report back once I'm able to hear it. I've also long recommended the Skrowaczewski and Blomstedt complete sets, but the Skrowaczewski set is only available in "plain old CD" resolution, while the Blomstedt set was taken from in-concert performances. So it's possible that these recordings by van Zweden, presumably made under more controlled conditions, might excel just a bit in the SQ department.

Bad for a pianist!

I believe all the van Zweeden recordings on Exton have been assumed by Challege Classics to complete their set.And yes, Blomstedt is taken 100% from public performances, but that does not impair SQ at all IMO. Audience noise is virtually imperceptable: these are Germans, after all!! -- and the sense of being "in the hall with the orchestra" is wonderful. These are terrific recordings, interpretations and -- with the Gewandhaus -- performances.
