I´m still laughing about what Kasen has done to Reimu in chapter 5. Even if it was just for a short time, she actually managed to turn Reimu into a real enthusastic shrine maiden. XDD
Also, does anyone knows how high she now is on Gensokyo´s power scale, if she can summon and control dragon babies?
On a meta level we could say that she is "extra" powerlevel as ZUN planed to use her as the extra boss of th13 (if we assume that there is no big discrepancy of how powerful are the gals on extra level, then she would be on par with a vampire, a nine tails kitsume or a earth goddess)
On a story level, well, as you said she can summon baby dragons and She can erase spirits from the cycle of reincarnation, which is on par to yuyuko's killing ability, tho all indicates that she must grab the target with her right arm and so far she has used it on spirits, never on a living being Also there are some hints of her being a one (the chain she wears as a bracelet, only seem on onis, and the buns covering where her horns should be if she were an oni) so you basically have a super powerful, near immortal anima capable of calling dragons and eliminating things out of the cycle of reincarnation. In few words SHE IS STRONG

Also...
She hides when any of the other oni show up for fear of being discovered.
She seems to basically be what an oni would be if they applied themselves to more than just drinking and acts of physical strength. Rather scary really.
Even if she was "just" a standard hermit she'd have to be high on the power level to keep fighting off the various attempts to kill her and take her soul
Yeah, specially since we have seem the power of the stuff the shinigami send to hunt hermits). Tho the fact that worries me the most is the line she said to one of the spirit she killed on chapter 3 "the only people who live in the surface are good men and saints... and... true villains!" the way she was smiling and how yukari asked if she was on their (youkai) side makes me wonder what are the true intentions of her
