I maintain a list of orchestral works that require two or more tubas. You can find that list here:

If you are aware of a work that is not on the list, please tell me about it and I'll add it. (I was honored that David Daniels actually emailed the info on some works.)

Re: Orchestral Works Requiring Two or More Tubas
I have played that wild 2-tubas orchestration of Pictures.
…I suck bad enough that I sort of need there to be pieces written for four or five tubas, in order to be called.
