I presume you mean for HTML output, in which case it does
not appear to be possible by changing a parameter.  Both
the book TOC and the chapter TOC use the same global
parameter 'toc.section.depth'.  You'd have to create
a customization layer that defined a new parameter
and a modified TOC-generating template to use it.
The TOC machinery is not simple, however.  
This would make a fine feature request, though.  8^)

It seems that these are supported in the fo stylesheets for
PDF output, but not in the html stylesheets.  If you look
in the fo/param.xsl file, you'll see these parameters:

<xsl:param name="generate.division.figure.lot" select="1" />  
<xsl:param name="generate.division.example.lot" select="1" /> 
<xsl:param name="generate.division.equation.lot" select="1" />
<xsl:param name="generate.division.table.lot" select="1" />

But these are not in html/param.xsl, nor do they appear
in the html templates.  8^(
Another feature request.
