You might try some of Bach's concerto transcriptions for solo
harpsichord after works by Vivaldi, Marcello, Telemann, etc. (BWV 972
- 987). The writing is often thick with driving rhythms, examples
that come to mind include BWV 972, 974, 975, 980, 986, 987. As someone
else has already mentioned, the toccatas might be of interest too (BWV
910 - 916). While they include free, fantasy-like sections, nearly all
of them include fugal writing with exactly the characteristics you are
looking for. Of course, a lot depends on the performer too. Perhaps
not everyone will play these works with the intensity you are looking
for.
