Ah, but it is never stated that they do. However, you are slightly wrong...all the Noldor who were born before the Darkening of Valinor saw the light of the Two Trees, because all those of Noldor kin journeyed to Aman. However, it is quite possible that this power from the trees is slightly hereditary, or can at least be passed on. Elwe Singollo gained the same sort of wisdom/power/beauty from seeing the face of Melian who had seen the light of the Trees (Who, admittedly, was also a Maiar). Now, some Noldor/High Elves gain power from different things...Elrond is the son of Earendil, and thus has Earendil's strength...and he is also 1/16 Maiar. Which probably counts for a lot. He also bears the Ring Vilya, the Ring of Air and the strongest of the Three. Yes, in case you're wondering, I like Elrond a lot. :)
