Good call there. Medtner-wise, I was very impressed by the new Alessandro Taverna recording, he does a killer
Minacciosa.

Bartok Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion

Bartók, Sonata for 2 pianos & percussion,
Stravinsky, Sonata for 2 pianos
As much as I love these, I'm afraid they're not eligible. It's not like there's a dearth of sonatas for solo piano. ;)

Well, you never stated solo piano .. and those are Super Piano Sonatas .. the music just requires more pianos/hands/fingers. ;D
I never stated "super", either. ;)
So to clarify: the prerequisites are solo piano, no more than two hands, and the word sonata in the title.
Bottom line: I wouldn't mind seeing more of your solo piano favourites. Ultimately, your list is yours to curate. Add some solo piano sonatas and we'll call the super-powered ones honorary mentions. 8)
Many Schuberts
Liszt
some late Mozart or other
HM to some Scriabin, Prokofiev
Well, um, probably lots of Schubert. Actually, I could fill up the list with Schubert...
I'll pick the D. 850 and D. 960 Sonatas.
Ives' Concord Sonata.
Prokofiev's 7th Sonata.
Janáček's 1. X. 1905.
Schumann's Op. 22
And, um... I don't like making lists. Six is good.
Ah. Um...
Vine No.1 - which I still ridiculously don't own a copy of despite loving it for 2 decades
Mozart K.309 (a favourite to actually play)
Mozart K.332
Ravel Sonatine
Scarlatti K.27
Schubert... probably D.960 and maybe D.845?
This is rather making me realise I don't listen to sonatas that often, as opposed to other forms of piano music. There are a couple of composers appearing in these lists for whom the sonatas aren't highlights for me - Chopin is the big one, but also Rachmaninov's no.2 is a work I know but wouldn't return to when I have things like the Etudes-Tableaux. Brahms' I don't know and I only know Schumann's op.22.
PS I did very much like Scriabin's the one time I listened to them. I think it was no.5 that particularly grabbed my attention.

Schubert D960
Schubert D894
Liszt B Minor
Chopin B flat minor

3) Boulez's 2nd
4) Mozart's K331
5) Scriabin's 4th
6) Schubert's D840 Reliquie --yes, that one!--
7) Krenek's 3rd
Just like that, in no particular order
