I know the book, and if there was other verses that say "beat the shit out of your wife" then I would've known; I studied it all, searching it in Arabic is quite easy too if you used such website:
quran.ksu.edu.sa
or
quran.com

What you're saying does not exist. I read this book since I was 6 or 7, it's more than 20 years. Believe me if such a verse existed; I will know.
As a token of honesty, here are all the laws that seem "controversial" or "brutal" in the book:
1-Wife beating if she rebels (I provided evidence from the same book that an eye is for an eye; in other words your wife must beat you first)
Actually the Qur'an says if you fear rebellion. It doesn't say the wife has to actually do something other than cause a fear of rebellion.
If this verse was fair and equal it would just say "If your partner rebels against you then rebel against them in the same way they did to you."
But it doesn't say that at all.
Firstly it gives men the position of being able to judge their wives based in the emotions the husband feels towards his wife, namely fear.
And then the verse allows the husband power to act on these emotions through verbal reprimanding, then forsaking them in the bedroom then violence if the husband still feels fear about the wives rebellion.
What would make me fear rebellion but rebellion itself?
If my wife is not rebelling, then I have no reason to fear her rebellion; or else I will be insane and paranoid.
If I fear her rebellion without her doing anything, then I would need an urgent psychological treatment for paranoia, and moreover I will be abusing the rights Islam gave me.
"Fear" their rebellion means "know" their rebellion according to many interpretation.
