Sri Yantra has various Devi-s associated with it.Their names are Tripura, Tripureshi, Tripurasundari,Tripuravasini,Tripurashri,Tripuramalini,Tripurasiddha,Tripuramba and Mahatripurasundari.

Where do we get the dhyana-mantras of these deities (i.e. the eight deities apart from Mahatripurasundari)?

A source that I am aware contains what you want is Svacchanda paddhati (attributed to Cidānandanātha) which deals with the navavāraṃ. The Devi names are indeed the names for each "president" Devi of those 9. From my point of view is the most extended text which gives details of all ( 1. tripurā 2. tripureśī 3. tripurasundarī 4. tripuravāsinī 5. tripurāśrīḥ 6. tripuramālinī 7. tripurāsiddhā 8. tripurāmbā 9. mahātripurasundarī as they are named also in kaula-upaniṣad ). Also
1. tattvacintāmaṇi 2. tripurārahasya māhatmyakaṇḍham 3. nityāṣoḍaśikārṇavatantra 4. parākramapūjā 5. śrīvidyārṇavatantra those 5 texts relate to dhyana-mantra of each 9. You can consult online the texts in transliterated forms from Sanskrit here
