This is a little hard to answer without knowing anything other than what you just played, but here are a few to consider:
Brahms Sonatas
Busoni Concertino
Milhaud Sonatine
Weber Concertos
Poulenc Sonata
Arnold Fantasy

Caution!
You sorta gotta find a "contemporary Brahms" to play his sonatas. I imagine him sitting at his piano with Muhlfield saying things like, "how do you like that!?" The piano half of his sonatas are bout 3/4s of the work needed to prepare a performance...

... and the clarinet parts are challenging, too.

My personal preference is to never screw around with a work unless it was intended to be a duo for piano and clarinet. I avoid anything the includes a "piano reduction." They are not nearly as much fun to work up as a piece intended for the two instruments to work together. Save those for when you can get your local band to put you up as soloist.
