Other than as a simple 'one-way current valve' in a circuit, what other
purposes can diodes be used for?

I'm sure there's a load more I can't think of right now.

Ohh man... I totally forget about TEC's. Diodes are awesome!
I sometimes feel I'm almost ready to move onto transistors.

No one else has mentioned:
Gate (usually multiple diodes as in DTL, but you can sum pulses and
rely on the turnon threshold, so a single diode does majority-logic as well).
RF switch
High-Z parametric amplifier input elements (use the
voltage variation of capacitance and balance a bridge).

That's kind of a "one way valve" application, though.
