I think you should just go play World of Warcraft. They have that aesthetic, it doesn't really fit here.
Click on the square icon with a little tree, then paste your image's URL in the popup window. It's to the right of the hyperlink icon (planet with a little chain under it)
Fierce Tyrant, False Monarchy and Archfiend are pretty much what you want. DRK and DRG AFs have some pretty good sets, too. If you're looking for some good ARR crunchy textures, the Halone set from PvP has a very similar silhouette. Eureka's fending set is cool and glows. Chaotic's fending/maiming set is somewhat similar to the leftmost one and has a subtle glow. Keep an eye out for variants of the Feast rewards coming back such as Shadowcleaver's set. It should be added to the PvP merchant in the next couple of patches or so.
I recommend you check out sites like Eorzea Collection because they have a neat database of most if not all glamour pieces and also a section for community glams you can draw inspiration from.
The sets you're looking for do exist, you just may have not found them yet! I don't know all the glams off the top of my head so I'm sure there's more out there.
Edit: For the angelic example in the middle, you can get angel and demon wings back accessories. For the halo, there's an "Angelic" set sold in the store. The hat is a forehead chain with a golden halo on top (the halo cannot be dyed, but the chain has double dye enabled)
We do have sets like that, for example the False Monarchy set or the Fierce Tyrant set.
A lot of the armor like that is PvP gear. That's how they tend to style PvP gear generally.
However, we have had tank and melee DPS sets like that occasionally, but they go really heavy with it for PvP.
If you mean more full plated armor, I completely agree with you
