I am also a baritone and I've performed in over 60 community theater productions (yep, I'm old school). It is difficult to find "belt" songs for men, they are usually written for women. You can always find a song and change the gender references (if needed) and lower the key (if needed). "Nobody Does It Like Me" (the musical See Saw) is a great belter with limited range. Also "Being Alive" (the musical Company) is a great belt song for a man and can be found in the vocal selections in both the show key F# (I think) and in the key of C.
Good luck!

'I am what I am' great baritone belter Le Cage Aux Faux
The Jeckyl and Hyde ones recommended above sit in a very high 'baritone' I actually think they are more for a tenor.
Let's see.........'The Quest' Don Quixote (it might sit a little high but check it out)
Anthem 'Chess'
Actually, take a listen to Chess because their are a large number of belt songs (London recording, not the American).
Assassins has a lot of belt songs, but Sondheim is usually frowned upon in auditions.
'Heaven on their minds' Jesus Christ Superstar (it might sit higher but check that one out, if Murray Head can sing it so can you).
You sit pretty low so don't shy away from "Ol' Man River'....sounds corny but it's very beautiful.
Ok, I think one of these should one for you. Best to you. And don't push yourself. You could damage yourself so make your you pick something that is challenging but not too daunting for your voice.. I don't know if you're looking for 'legit' or rock......
hope this is helpful.

This is the Moment from Jekyll and Hyde would be perfect.
One Song Glory from RENT would be great!
Javert's Suicide, What Have I Done, and Who Am I from Les Miserables could work to.
Break a leg!

Get some cd's by Big Joe Turner, one of the great transitional stars of the r&b/early rock era. Swingin and beltin! I'm also partial to "Your Feet's Too Big" from AIN'T MISBEHAVIN.
