St. Thomas Aquinas in his commentary on Revelation says
key of David, that is, the flesh taken from David, it is not a new one. Ps.132:11 says, ‘of the fruit of your womb I will set upon your throne.’
Hugh of St. Cher says in his commentary on Revelation
the key of David, that is, the power and the strength in which, as it were like keys, to open the ears and hearts of sinful men, to hear the word of faith to believe.
St. Albert the Great in his commentary on Revelation says
That key was the cross, because the cross opened the Scriptures to us the secrets and mysteries of what was hidden beneath the figures. For Isaiah 22:22 says, ‘And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder: and he shall open, and none shall shut: and he shall shut.’

Here is the footnote from the Aquinas Study Bible, though I am in the process of revising it, but here is what I have now
key of David: Rupert of Deutz interprets the key of David to be the knowledge of those mysteries which are latent in the sacred Scripture. Others (Andrew, Arethas, etc.) by the name of the key of David, in this place, have thought that the regal power of David is signified, according to which David in various ways wonderfully prefigured the power and empire of Christ our Lord. Lastly, some there are (St. Ambrosius Autpertus, Haimo) who have interpreted the key of David to be Christ himself as man, or his human nature received from the root of David, according to which he was born, conversed with men, died for man, was raised from the dead, and exalted into heaven, and is set down at the right hand of God the Father, and appointed judge of all men.
