This is a really, really tough question because even when parts of the format change, a lot of Sentai is pretty consistently "Sentai."
Dekaranger takes a more police procedural approach to Sentai, and it doesn't have a main big bad until very late in the game. It's pretty unique.
Kyuranger splits its massive team into semi-random workgroups to fight monsters/go on missions, which definitely separates it from the "normal" Sentai format.
Go-Busters starts off as a dramatic shakeup to the tone of Sentai, focusing on more real-world scifi concepts and Kamen Rider-style serialization, before becoming a Showa-era throwback about half-way through. That may sound like a criticism, but seeing the militaristic elements of Showa Sentai approached in the modern day actually makes it feel pretty unusual.
Dairanger is unique due to its heavy serialization. I don't think there's another Sentai quite as serialized, from beginning to end, as Dairanger.
Jetman and Timeranger both start out as fairly standard Sentai series before evolving into thinly-veiled J-Dramas roughly 20-25 episodes into each series. They're also tonally distinct from each other becausevthe J-Dramas they reference, from the late-80s and late-90s respectively, are totally different beasts.
I want to put Boukenger on this list as well, due to its emphasis on treasure hunting as opposed to monster-fighting, and its multiple villain organizations, but I haven't finished it yet, so I can't say it doesn't revert to standard Sentai fare as it goes on.
Obviously, Gokaiger isn't like any Sentai before or after it, for obvious reasons.
