Dean Koontz is a pretty immediate example. He's had years where he's released three 400-600 page novels. He's also a horror author whose work has been widely adapted (although not nearly as much as King's)

I like Dean Koontz too, but like King he's wildly inconsistent from book to book, and unlike King, he has made nowhere near as much of a cultural impact with his body of work.

There are also a lot of authors where it's hard to fully evaluate the body of their work. For example, Ray Bradbury has about 40 short story anthologies (and over 400 short stories to his name, some of which haven't been republished in an anthology) as well as assorted novellas (and it's worth noting that some of King's works are novellas rather than novels), as well having written novels, children's books, plays, non-fiction, stuff he's done for radio, tv, etc.

I didn't specifically mention Ray Bradbury, but I figured Clarke and Asimov covered that general wheelhouse by way of an example.
