Radial vs in-line engines

I was thinking about WWII planes and I realized that most radial engines were much more powerful than in-line engines.
Let's take the Corsair or the Thunderbolt for example, with their 2000+ HP P&W, whereas Spits and 109s were a little above 1000. Is there a technical explanation for that?
