If you are inclined to follow the Hilary Hahn lead, let me suggest her pairing of the Brahms and Stravinsky Violin concertos. Best Brahms I've heard, and I've heard a bunch. The Stravinsky is just as good. Also try the Bach Partita no. 3 if you like solo violin. Both on Sony. Both fit your "easy listening with some power" criterion.
