Your inclusion of the Organ Symphony leads me to insist that a "Warhorse" be over-performed in concerts, not merely over-played at home.
Dowager wives of mining, shipping, and maufacturing benefactors who dominate orchestral boards of directors have a 19th Century aesthetic that makes the above list of Dvorak 9, Beethoven 5, Mozart 40, and Tchaikowsy 6 my choice as well.
For proof see the elderly female box-holders who ran Boulez out of Cleveland.
