I liken power metal to junk food or strip clubs. It may not be the most thought-provoking stuff out there, but hell if it doesn't fucking rock. Nothing's better for working out.
Iron Maiden's "Somewhere in Time" (the first real power metal album, to my knowledge)
Helloween
Edguy
Gamma Ray
Blind Guardian
Nightwish
Epica
Avantasia
Kamelot

You have named some of the greats. I really love this band from Finland, Dying Fire. You will love them.

Yea Nightwish is great. The new singer is good in her own right, but Tarja was on a whole different level. Century Child was my favorite NW album.

Say what you will about the new album, but that instrumental CD was awesome.
But, yeah, there's a horrible taint to the band after reading those letters of separation. It really sucks how that played out. Both have moved on though, so I'm glad.
Century Child is a good CD although I'll forever be a Once fan.

I keep hearing about Falconer, but I never think to check them out.
Mental note: Check out Falconer
