Steve Reeves is the Goliath in GOLIATH AND THE BARBARIANS (1959)
The only Steve Reeves movies in High Definition are: THE SON OF SPARTACUS (1962) German BD. DUEL OF THE TITANS (1961) German BD. THE THIEF OF BAGHDAD (1961) German BD.
THE WHITE WARRIOR (1959) and THE GIANT OF MARATHON (1959) have been shown on TV in HD. SANDOKAN THE GREAT (1963) and SANDOKAN - PIRATE OF MALAYSIA (1964) are both streaming in HD in Spain. But none of them are available to purchase.
That's about it.
Well, the two Hercules movies, HERCULES (1958) and HERCULES UNCHAINED (1959) have BD releases but the prints are so awful that it's not even worth mentioning.
So only 3 titles are available to purchase with decent HD transfers.
Some have tried doing up-conversions of Reeves movies released on DVD, like this GOLIATH AND THE BARBARIANS I took the screenshot from, but the prints on those DVDs are terrible so the up-converted HD version looks terrible.

What a pity that Peplum's greatest star isn't better represented on Blu-ray. But the three that are out are some of his best films so we should be grateful for that. And they do look wonderful.
I noticed in your list of HD movies that you state the German Blu-ray of Slave Queen of Babylon has an English option. Which edition is this? I have a German Blu-ray of it and it is only in German and Italian. Is there a newer version?
The German BD of SLAVE QUEEN OF BABYLON doesn't have the English audio. I corrected the info at the list. I don't own the physical disc but traded it with someone and they included a Fan Dub copy of the movie with added English audio, which is why I confused it with it having the English audio.
Thank you for letting me know. I was just about to order it.
