There's not much difference between a power trio and the traditional rock format of vocalist, guitarist, bassist, drummer. Most guitarists in power trios build a part lead, part rhythm sort of style, and the bass is usually more prominent.

Sleep is good
Boris too, although they're not really a traditional power trio
Cream
Rush

Give The Who a listen, since that's basically it.

How the fuck is The Who a power trip?

Minutemen has been mostly just three guys. I think they have one song on their album Double Nickels On The Dime that has a couple extra guitarists, but that's it. They do it by having the guitar/bass switch duties between either doing lead/rhythm for a particular part of a track. Technically rhythm guitarists aren't need as that's what a bass guitar traditionally does (thus why when one usually says rhythm section it refers to the bass guitarist and the percussionist(s))

Their style would go on to define power trios, what with its hybrid guitar.
