Yes, the NT kernel is definitely much more powerful than the Win32 
subsystem. For example it has a single rooted object based file system 
where other file systems are automatically mounted and you can access 
them through e.g. \Devices\Harddisk0\HarddiskVolume1. Also it supports 
symbolic links in there (the Win32 subsystem uses them internally very 
much). One can explore all those things for example with my Native NT 
port of Free Pascal ;)

The symlink feature I talked about can be used in Vista and newer from 
within the Win32 subsystem as well though.
