Nope. Usually not formally anyways. Of course, like any other organization the formal titles don't necessarily indicate someone's power. Soldiers can vary widely in their income/power. Some soldiers are "specials" and have so much knowledge or experience in a particular criminal endeavor that they more or less report to the Family's administration.
In other cases a captain may rely on a handful of soldiers he trusts to transmit orders, enforce discipline, and collect funds. But it all comes down to money. Over time, all else equal more "respect" and "power" will accrue to those soldiers who are better earners.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

As Lilo said, it varies by family and by size. I'd imagine that, in a big family, caporegimes would have crew chiefs under them to help manage the business. A crew chief might, say, have 5-15 soldiers under him, and a capo might have five or so crew chiefs.
Lilo, I see you changed your avatar to Chester Burnett. Good man!
