I am very very interested in Macros and just beginning to understand its true power. Please help me collect some great usage of macro systems.
So far I have these constructs:

Shivers, Carlstrom, Gasbichler & Sperber (1994 & later) The Scsh Reference manual.
Has a lot of good examples of using macros to embed mini-languages into Scheme. Introduced me to the technique of defining macros that implicitly quote their argument. Look at the use of process forms, regular expressions, and the awk-like mini-languages. Scsh is my recommendation as a starting point for playing with macros.
Hilsdale & Friedman (2000) Writing Macros in Continuation-Passing Style.
Shows how the weak syntax-rules macros can be made powerful using continuation-passing style. Gives plenty of examples.
Flatt, Culpepper, Darais & Findler (submitted) Macros that Work Together - Compile-Time Bindings, Partial Expansion, and Definition Contexts.
Provides an overview of, and semantics for the approach to macros in Racket/PLT Scheme. Not a whole lot of examples, but I think the paper has something you are looking for.
ReadScheme! Remember to check the extensive bibliography on ReadScheme.

One example I think you missed is embedding SQL syntax into Scheme. http://repository.readscheme.org/ftp/papers/sw2002/schemeunit-schemeql.pdf
Macros are also used to write supports for automated testing.
Not a Scheme, but somewhat similar Lisp dialect with a very extensive use of macros: http://www.meta-alternative.net/mbase.html
There are macros implementing various kinds of pattern matching, list comprehensions, various parsers generators (including a PEG/Packrat implementation), embedded Prolog, ADT visitors inference (like scrap your boilerplate in Haskell), extensible syntax macros, Hindley-Milner type system, Scheme-like syntax macros, and many more. Parts of that functionality can be potentially ported to Scheme, other parts needs an extended macro system with explicit context.
I would add "The Scheme standard library itself" to the list. Look at the file boot-9.scm in the guile distribution. Many of the most commonly-used Scheme forms - case, and, etc. - are defined there as macros.
This isn't particularly precise in so far as it is spread out over a large number of very old publications most of which i've never read, but IIRC large chunks of the Common Lisp Object System and the Meta-Object Protocol*, can be; are; or were initially, built with of macros...
* Which compose IMHO by far the most advanced OO system programming has ever seen
Here's an example of a pretty awesome use of scheme macros to create efficient robotics systems written in scheme
Check one of my favorites implementations of a REST API: the Slack api client, that isn't written in Scheme but it is in Racket.
