Maple

b:= proc(n) option remember; expand(`if`(n=0, 1, add(
      b(n-i)*x*binomial(n-1, i-1)*(i-1)!, i=4..n)))
    end:
T:= n-> (p-> seq(coeff(p, x, i), i=1..degree(p)))(b(n)):
seq(T(n), n=4..20);  # Alois P. Heinz, Sep 25 2016

Mathematica

b[n_] := b[n] = Expand[If[n==0, 1, Sum[b[n-i] x Binomial[n-1, i-1] (i-1)!, {i, 4, n}]]];
T[n_] := Function[p, Table[Coefficient[p, x, i], {i, Exponent[p, x]}]][b[n]];
Table[T[n], {n, 4, 20}] // Flatten (* Jean-François Alcover, Dec 07 2019, after Alois P. Heinz *)
