List of verbs similar to suggest, recommend

I understand verbs like suggest or recommend don't take prepositions and usually it is followed by "that" as below.

I suggest that you buy this camera.
I recommend that you punish him.

Are there any other verbs of similar sorts?

I advise that you don't do this.

I'm sorry for interrupting the conversations between you two. I want to know about it more. Reading your answer,I think your words indicating "with the subjunctive" is a key word for me to certainly understand why we have to use that clause.

Could you tell me more ? What did you mean by the words "using it with the subjunctive",Mr.Aspara Gus ?

The verbs used in the OP’s examples are in what is called the subjunctive mood. Have a look at this article to learn more.

@Aspara. Thank you

But I think I can also use the words "ask" and "advise" with infinitive as below. Can't I?

(1) I ask you to go out of here.
(2) I advise you to finish the work as soon as possible.

But I guess, these are wrong :
(1) I recommend you to go through the other way.
(2) I suggest you to finish the work as soon as possible.

Yes, but the one with ask isn’t very natural. We would just say Please leave. A better example of the infinitive form is something like I asked him to leave.
