What are some good dog toys for power chewers?
I have a male Golden Retriever who loves to chew. The only toys I can find that suit him are Kongs, because they're the only ones he can't break. He seems to be getting bored of them though, so I'd like to get him some new tough and very durable toys.
Price doesn't matter, I want to get him the best I can afford to!
What would you recommend?

The Galileo Bone, made by Nylabone. I promise it will outlast the dog.

The Kongs are good. There are all kinds of tasty things you can put in them to keep the dog interested without having to get a bunch of new toys. I put peanut butter over the big hole in the bottom, then freeze it until it is solid. Then I take it out, and fill it about halfway with chicken broth. It then goes back in the freezer and freezes until the broth is solid. This makes for great chewing. I also mix tiny pieces of meat with cream cheese and put that inside, and plain peanut butter.
I have a Great Dane, and he is a power chewer. I buy him something called bully sticks. I get them at Tractor Supply, but you can also order them online, cheaper I think. They are pretty tough, and it takes him a while to chew them up. And they are digestible, so it is safe for them to eat the chunks that do come off eventually.
Raw hide is not safe for dogs. It is not digestible, and can cause intestinal blockages.

I definitely have the answer for you because I have 2 beagles who can chew right through black kong toys. Here are the toys they can't chew up...
Petstages Orka Dog Ball
Orbee Tuff Bone
Orbee Tuff Balls
Busy Buddy Waggle (Can be used as an interactive treat dispenser too)
Everlasting Fun Ball (Can be used as an interactive treat dispenser too)
These are all really fun!
To relieve boredom that can lead to excessive chewing, try interactive toys like...
Blowing dog safe bubbles
Aikiou
Nina Ottosson Dog Twister
Nina Ottosson Dog Brick
Nina Ottosson Dog Pyramid

I used to use raw hide bones. My dog loves them. They are great for power chewers and last a long, long time. The only thing is, this bone can splinter in your dog's stomach and may be hard to digest, so you may not want to use these.
However, I got something called Dingo Dental Sticks. They are GREAT. They have a nice, soft rawhide wrap, with flaky chicken, and yummy treats inside. They are great, and last a long time. Plus, they give your dog good breath and prevent tartar. Don't worry about the raw hide wrapping, because it won't hurt your dog. If you don't find this, then get a different brand, not Dingo. Dental sticks last a long time and help with your dog's teeth, so I recommend this.
I also have Natural Dog Biscuits. They are VERY healthy and are recommended to be given to your dog one - two times a day.
Once in a while, you can give your dog just a whole carrot. They are very hard to chew, but help with digestion.

I have a Golden Retriever mix, and so far I haven't found anything aside from the black Kong that she can't destroy in minutes. I now go for disposable homemade "toys" - such as a handful of kibble in an empty plastic bottle or cardboard box. I toss the box or bottle out in the yard and she has a great time tearing it apart.

My three Great Danes love their Nylabone Big Chews. Even my Rat Terrier thinks it's fun to snatch one up and hide under the bed with it. My dogs also each have a Ruffians Octopus, which are great. You'd want to snip the tentacles off of it, but they play hard with those things and they've yet to tear them apart.
