I think that’s it.

Bg6+ wins
Re6 looks tasty.
Txe7!
Sorry, my first line is wrong.
Ke6 by black is illegal and QxQ is foolish.

I am not convinced by any of the posts so far.
1. R:e7+ K:e7
2. Qg7+ Kd6
3. Q:f6+ Be6 seems to hold for the loss of a piece.
1. Bg6+ forces …Kg8 but now what?
1. Re6 B:e6
2. N:e6 Rg8 seems to cover everything, with 3. Ng5+ R:g5 just chopping all of white’s active pieces off the board.
1. Nc6 seems to pose black some problems. 1…Q:c6 2. Bg6+ Kg8 3. R:e7 with unstoppable mate threats.
1… Re8 2. Bg6+ Kg8 3. B:e8 N:e8 4. Qh7+ and mate next.
1… Rg8 again seems best, but now 2. R:e7+ Q:e7 3. N:e7 seems promising. White can just start the K-side pawns running while black struggles to develop his Q-side.
Also, 1… Rg8 2. N:e7 Q:e7 3. Bg6+ R:g6 4. R:e7+ and 5. Q:g6 might be even better, but this is too complicated for me to work out. (At least in less than a week.)
