Note: the information you are about to see is not from either Wikipedia or the Boeing site.
According to Airliners.net, there is a 737-300 High-Gross-Weight variant (actually an option) that has an MTOW of up to 62,823kg (138,500lb).  The range for the 737-300HGW is listed at 3,400NM with 140 passengers.  Since the range value is for a seating of 140/149 passengers, we'll need to do more research, possibly contacting Boeing via e-mail.

Airliners.net also lists a high-gross-weight option for the 737-400, which has an MTOW of up to 68,040kg (150,000lb) and a range of 3850km (2080nm) with 140 passengers.  Once again, the range value is for a seating of 140/188 passengers, so more research and possibly contacting Boeing is needed.

And once again, the 737-500 has a high-gross weight option.  The 737-500HGW has an MTOW of up to 60,555kg (133,500lb) and a range of 4444km (2400nm) with all 132 passengers.  Since this value is correct for a full load of passengers, no extra research is needed.

Note:
High Gross Weight (HGW) variants of the 737 next-gen 737-600, -700, -800 and -900 are all present in the aircraft list.

In addition to what I've found at airliners.net, a UK-based 737-related website posts the following passenger figures for the 737 original:
-The 737-100 is certified to seat up to 124 (100 in AM).
-The 737-200 is certified to seat up to 136 (115 or 130 in AM).

I don't think the figures on this site are very accurate, but it's worth the research...

For teh 737-300/-400/-500's, the variants are listed under teh smae name. That is you would see a dropbox like engine variants but with the same engine for all variants. In short, they are in the db.
