There's an option to reduce power to CLB after selecting TOGA on the AB. TOGA gets you the go-around guidance and then reducing to CLB on the Airbus reduces the rate of climb to a rate similar to just pushing the TOGA button once on a Boeing. Full/max power, and a landing weight, can induce vertigo issues, time comparison, high rates of climb, etc. Selecting V/S 1000' FPM is also a way to reduce the rate of climb and make the go-around less hectic.
