2 violins, viola: Sinfonie concertante by Isidore Bertheaume (op. 6), Jean-Baptiste Davaux (op. 7), Carl Philippe Stamitz (no. 7), Rodolphe Kreutzer (no. 2) and Giuseppe Maria Cambini (no. 2). All late 18th to early 19th century. Stamitz and Cambini have the orchestra enumerated: 2oboes, 2 horns, strings, the others are likely to be the same, so not "full" orchestra.
3 violins: One entry only: Ferdinand Thieriot (1838 - 1919) op. 88. Only piano score on IMSLP; a score and parts might be hard to find (it was probably only published in piano score). Published in 1909, most likely a big orchestra. This might be the thing you are looking for if the music is any good.
If you can recruit a cellist to join you: You could look at Spohr's concerto for string quartet and orchestra. Might be worth the effort to find that cellist.
Edit: Sorry, I missed "intermediate" in your wish list. I think "intermediate" and "full orchestra" won't go together. Full orchestra means high level (not Paganini style difficult but demanding sound professional skills). There is a 3 violin concerto by Vivaldi with strings only. It may be playable.
Cheers
