I think your original list is pretty accurate. I think NY and LA are definitely the tops. Chicago has a lot of high-end shopping clusters as well. I think Boston and San Francisco are up there as well (may be a little higher on your list). San Diego is the only city I can think of that would probably be on your list, that I didn't see (although I'm not sure, as I'm not familiar with the city). But I've heard that it has a lot of high end shopping.
Boutiques I didnt see on the list:
Goyard
La Perla
Lanvin
Roberto Cavalli
Another extremely exclusive department store is Bergdorf
Goodman.
And I think the upcoming Maybachs look stunning.
Could’ve sworn I already added Roberto Cavalli. And all these count. I’ll add them.

I’ve always appreciated cars, though. Maybe add Aston Martin to the list of luxury automobiles.

The others I actually thought about, but wasn't sure.
I would say Sandro, Theory, Zadig & Voltaire make the cut due to their target upscale fashion oriented market.
Scotch & Soda is basically a trendy J Crew, not really luxury (but still a great brand).
That also brings into question The Kooples, Hugo Boss, and Reiss (my fav brand).
I thought the same thing. These brands cater to the same clientele, but aren’t quite as expensive. Since thwyrw still expensive and cater to the same clientele as those above, I will Add them.I guess this counts. Definitely no Boss though.
Going to start crunching up the list now, will update as I go. Feel free to add suggestions on brands that should be included (or taken out). Explain why you'd disagree if taken out. I will NOT include outlet versions of neither brands nor department stores (i.e. Gucci Outlet, Saks Off Fifth Ave, etc).

Before I crunch up, I'm going to give my prediction based on brands currently listed. I predict it will go
1. NYC
2. LA
3. Miami
4. Vegas
5. Chicago
6. Houston
7. Dallas
8. Bay Area
9. Boston
10. Atlanta
Bay Area is a better place to shop but if the question alone is home to more high end stores, I see it behind Houston and Dallas. Like Boston, SF's proximity to LA hurt its ability to pull these sort of brands. Houston and Dallas only nearby serious competitors are each other. Which is likely why they seem to get more brands.

Are you going to do it by metro area or by city proper?
