Only ones that I can think of off the top of my head are:

Brunswick Groove Urethane
Columbia Trooper
Visionary Slate Blue Gargoyle

Columbia has a Scout Urethane.  That's really all that I know of.  Urethane is a "dead" technology.  Most people don't want one, so companies don't make things that won't sell.  

Myself I am a BIG fan of Urethane!  I just picked up a Storm Blue Flame Urethane from eBay for $30 shipped, NIB.  

If you were looking to get one, there is a seller on eBay,  (just search Urethane in the bowling ball section) that always has a couple Brunswick Power Groove Blue Sanded Urethane balls listed.  No one ever bids, starts at $9.99 with like a $24 shipping charge.  You can get one cheap.

Lane 1's XXL was also urethane.  Dunno if it's still made or not, though.  Like the Gargoyle, it's got an honest weight block, not a mostly-filler-puck or pancake like the Scouts, Trooper, and Grooves.
