Some singers have more powerful voices than others. The vocal fold's only job is to shape the opening for pitch, or so I think.
So does that mean singers with stronger voices get that poweful sound from the air flow they use, or from the strength they have from the vocal cords alone?

The larynx vibrates and that is how it makes sound. If you can control how to make it vibrate louder longer, your voice will be more powerful. The muscle stretches to influence the pitch, like a guitar string. This is all controled by the recurrent laryngeal nerve, a branch of the vagus nerve.

It is the air being pushed through by your diaphragm that gives the voice it's volume. However, it is good to have healthy vocal chords and stong vocalis muscle to control pitch, and some of the strength and tone comes from the way the sound is resonated in the nose as well.

the stronger the air flow through the vocal cords the stronger the sounds
