The planes that were used on 9/11 were vehicles of destruction, no
doubt. But they did not cause the building to collapse. They just
started the fire that did.
Was there a way to cause the fire without using large airplanes to
deliver thousands of pounds of combustible fuel to the top stories?

Residential and office buildings are not made tough enough to
withstand the impact of a kiloton-range cruise missile. That's simply
not reasonable. What is reasonable is that if you own a kiloton-range
cruise missile (and airliners qualify) you are responsible for keeping
it out of the hands of unauthorized people.
Please document a premise wherein a jet airline qualifies as a kiloton-
range cruise missile, prior to 9/11.
Watching a programme about the plane that hit the Pentagon, they said
that the explosion was equivalent to around 500kg of high explosive. So
about half a ton. Not really close to the "kiloton-range".
As was pointed out above, it wasn't the explosion that caused the towers
to collapse, it was the combination of the explosion/erosion of the
fire-proof material and the subsequent fire.
