Here's an example of the same sunrise shot developed in camera in two wildly different ways. Just to give you a sense of the width of colours you can achieve by twiddling the JPEG settings.
As others have said, to get saturated colours it's important to get a lowish exposure, eg. by dialing in -2 exposure compensation.
First development: AWB, Landscape, saturation +2, contrast -1,
highlight protection on, shadow correction high.
Second development:
Shade white balance with
+1 magenta, Landscape, saturation +2, contrast -1,
hue -4, highlight protection on, shadow correction off.
The emphasised settings are key to the golden look.
