I definitely agree on San Juan (I really have no reason to try the two-player Puerto Rico variants because San Juan is so good with two, with fraction of the setup time Puerto Rico takes), but after my one experience with two-player Power Grid didn’t leave me wanting for more.

San Juan works well with two, IMHO, and my husband and I are fond of playing Power Grid (Funkenschlag) one-on-one.

Hansa works well for two.

Age of Steam, The Princes of Florence and Puerto Rico are not bad to two players though they need some variants.

Samurai and Attika are two games that I actually prefer to play with two because I think they work best with that number.

Other two-player multiplayer games I like, anyway:
Goa is probably one of the few auction games (I can think of) that works well two-player. I probably prefer Java and Tikal two-player, if only to reduce downtime.
Einfach Genial’s a great two-player game, but I think the partnership game is the way to go, personally. (Thereby agreeing that the two-sided dynamic is best.)
