...whatever it is I have available.
One classical record which does show off system dynamics and slam would be Classic Records remaster of the Merc living Presence, Stravinsky's "The Firebird" / Dorati, LSO. cat# sr90226. This one has explosive dynamics, as well as some profound kettle drums in Scene two. Caution; it might wake the neighbors depending on your environment. I've used that. Wham! Feel those low frequency sound waves expand the walls.
I've had requests for Led Zeppelin. Classic records remasters for that, again.
Otherwise I am a classical music fan and tend to reach for that unless there are other requests. And I happily oblige requests when I can meet them. But...I'm rather dated. I keep some Elvis available (from the 1950's, not the later 70's stuff)
Jazz. the more mainstream stuff. Like Bop. I've yet to have a request for Buddy Rich, but I have a handful of those Lps. Also some Don Ellis. Nobody asks for that.
