Re: Are there any episodes where we learn more about the Gamma Quadran
There might be. There is this Dominion thingy, they play a role in an episode or two.
Let's see what I can remember, we have the Wadi, Pup, Tosk, the Hunters, Founders, Jem'Hadar, Vorta, Karemma, Yadarians, Teplans, Skreea, T-Rogoran, aliens who posed a holograms, Rakhari, Dosi, the species that left behind mind-control energy spheres for just anyone to pick up, and two species involved in "torture O'Brien" episodes, one by imprisoning him and the other by...well, to say what they did would spoil the episode.
If you can you should get your hands on the DVD and just watch DS9 through from start to finish.

Re: Are there any episodes where we learn more about the Gamma Quadran
There are definitely a few interesting and non-Dominion stories in the Gamma Quadrant, but that's just it; only a few. In fact, I can only think of two that really impress me.
Fact of the matter is, the show juggles several arcs in the air and eventually they largely converge but there's just so much to it, especially by Trek standards, that I can't say as I blame the writers for disregarding much of the Gamma Quadrant. That aspect of the show really is only one of many.

I quite enjoyed both "The Quickening" and "Children of Time". YMMV.

There's a brief article at Memory Alpha that talks about exploration in the Gamma Quadrant, but it had spoilers in it if you plan to watch more of the show.

Re: Are there any episodes where we learn more about the Gamma Quadran
I can only remember three species getting mentioned as getting kicked by the Dominion: the Yaderans, T-Rogorans, and the Teplans, all three were space-faring races but whether they were a major regional power or not is unknown.

Re: Are there any episodes where we learn more about the Gamma Quadran
My recommendation is the same as above, you should try to watch the show from start to finish rather than jumping around watching episodes randomly. Of the Trek series DS9 is the one that gives viewers the most reward for watching it from beginning to end.
Here is a list of episodes that deal with GQ species or they feature in some important aspect of the story.
"Captive Pursuit" (Tosk and Hunters)
"Q-Less"
"Move Along Home" (Wadi)
"Vortex" (Rakhari)
"Battle Lines" (Ennis and Nol-Ennis [one I forgot above])
"If Wishes Were Horses"
"The Forsaken" (Pup)
"Dramatis Personae" (Saltah'na)
"Rules of Acquisition" (Dosi, first mention of the Dominon and Karemma)
"Santuary" (Skrreea)
"Whispers" (Parada)
"Shadowplay" (Yaderans)
"The Jem'Hadar (Jem'Hadar)
"The Search, Pt1 & 2 (Karemma (first physical appearance), Jem'Hadar, Vorta, Changelings)
"The Abandoned" (Jem'Hadar)
"Meridian" (Meridian-ites [forgot about these guys too, not actually their canon name as they don't have one])
"Heart of Stone" (Changelings)
"The Die is Cast (Changelings, Jem'Hadar [second part of two parter, you should watch "Improbable Cause" first])
"Adversary" (Changelings/Dominion)
"Hippocratic Oath" (Jem'Hadar)
"Starship Down" (Karemma)
"The Sword of Kahless (Hur'q)
"Homefront"/"Paradise Lost" (Dominion/Changelings)
"Hard Time" (Argrathi)
"To the Death" (Vorta, Jem'Hadar)
"The Quickening" (Teplans)
"Broken Link (Changelings)
"The Ship" (Vorta, Jem'Hadar)
"In Purgatory's Shadow"/"By Inferno's Light" (Vorta, Jem'Hadar, Changelings...in general the Dominion)
"In the Cards" (Vorta/Dominion)
"Call to Arms" (Dominion)
From season 6 premier "A Time to Stand" to season 7 finale "What You Leave Behind" (Jem'Hadar/Vorta/Changelings/Dominion)
Okay, I'll admit I got lazy towards the end...

Re: Are there any episodes where we learn more about the Gamma Quadran
We didn't know much about the Gamma Quadrant. Who were the other major players, apart from the Dominion? What about major stellar phenomena there? The Dominion didn't own all of the gamma quadrant, at the least it's unlikely, since it's 50000 light years in length

Re: Are there any episodes where we learn more about the Gamma Quadran
DS9 isn't that kind of show. DS9 as a show is not about exploring the GQ.
Almost everything interesting about the GQ is conveyed through GQ aliens traveling through the wormhole to AQ space, and almost all of those interesting aliens are Dominion-related.
My point is, what you are seeking in your question is not well-suited to the content that DS9 as a show provides, unless you interested in the Dominion specifically, and their activities in AQ space.
