This is really strange that there is no master switch. Are you sure this isn't a sub-panel which is wired into another breaker box somewhere else in the building? I'd go hunting, following the main wire.
There's less than half of the number of breakers on here that I'd expect in a house.
My house is like that too. No master shutoff anywhere, so I'd have to call the power delivery company out to shut it off at the meter.
Ugh. Cost-prohibitive to replace the panel with a main breaker ?
Last I looked it was like $1500
