1. Vintage. Highly underrated burger. Better than most of your list, for sure.
2. Dairy Lane Cafe. For me, somewhat overrated, but generally on the list of "best burger spots" so if you want an exhaustive sampling, you have to go there. Plus they often have a somewhat unconventional offering in case you're getting tired of plain cheeseburgers.
3. The Nash. Also very good, and generally highly rated.
4. Native Tongues. Again, a bit overrated for me, but it's a classic burger. However, it may not align with what you're calling a "high end" burger. On the other hand, if it doesn't, Clive shouldn't either.
5. Boogie's. I gather there has been some negativity in this thread regarding Boogie's lately, but if we're talking about the location on Edmonton Trail, I've never had a disappointing burger there myself. Also, sort of falls into the "Dairy Lane" category of "you have to go there if you want to be able to say you've been to all the main spots".
Those are the top 5 that jump to mind for me. Other than old Naina's on Ogden Road, I still haven't come across any that challenge the old Lava Dining burger in Kensington. RIP.
