Probably the most notorious such software is Notemap http://www.casesoft.com/notemap/index.asp It’s no longer developed, but it’s stable as far as I know, though I have not tried it under Windows 7. I believe Cassius has had a nasty experience with Notemap using note text, so regular backing up is strongly recommended.

Another software that can handle big chunks of text and complex hierarchies is Maxthink http://www.maxthink.org Like Brainstorm, its roots are in DOS and this shows a bit. It defaults to a two level view like Brainstorm’s but can show more if you want it to. It does not support clones (namesakes) but it does have many ways to reorganise entries, making it too a powerful tool for bringing order to chaotic notes. One of its strong points is the very good export to Word.
