A couple of my favourites are the Quintets by Roy Harris & Walter Piston, as well as Stanford's excellent Quintet and the two Quintets of Bloch, especially the 1st which is a monumental masterpiece IMHO. There's also Rawsthorne's late Quintet from 1968 which takes a few hearings to get into, but is ultimately highly rewarding. Both Berwald Quartets are certainly worth hearing as are those of Louise Farrenc. One Piano Quintet that mixes strings & wind is that of David Diamond, an early work of his & is scored for Flute, Violin, Viola, Cello & Piano.

We are told that Robert Schumann invented the piano 5tet but shouldn't the credit go much further back, to a certain W A Mozart? At least three of his piano concertos exist in his own versions with accompaniment from string quartet, as here:
If something looks like a piano quintet and sounds like a piano quintet, isn't it a piano quintet??I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!
