With PttP you fluctuate the volume by taking days off between the 5-workout-blocks and resting between cycles. You fluctuate intensity by adding weight with his cycle routines (linear, step, wave, etc). The exercise variation can be changed at the start of a new cycle, but they are only variations of the deadlift (which is 80% of PttP anyway).
Yes, "technically" GTG would be superior if you're using the same exercises (assuming deadlifts, since the Party is all about pulls). However, as I said before it is impractical with weights unless you have A LOT of time on your hands. Also, just by the structure of GTG it would place a lot more responsibility on you to pay attention and ride the line between not doing enough and overtraining. With PttP it is very clear and straight-cut, where if you follow it's instructions you will see results and have little chance of overtraining.
Your questions make me ask, have you read PttP? I assumed you had from your first post, but these last few questions made me wonder. If you have read it, then you need to refresh and reread it (assuming you're on or starting PttP.....if this is just an intellectual question then I guess you're fine).
