It depends on the setup. Some radiators are meant to sit in the corner, heating air, which then circulates around the room like in baseboard heating. Wood stoves are generally in the middle of the room and "visible" to everything, allowing them to radiate more. Radiator colour can make a big difference too. A black radiator will radiate more than a white one. Wood stoves are generally dull grey/black. Radiators are often white/shiny.
