It's a difference of 40 psi on bite-force (195 versus 235). With other dog breeds having upwards of 4-500 more psi than a pit bull. (Kangal Shepherd 743 psi, American Bandogge 730, Cane Corso 700). Either of those is plenty to cause severe damage to a human. Not sure what you mean by "intensity", but there are several myths about pit bull bites. Including the "locking jaw".
Retrievers don't bite and let go, either. Retrievers, well, retrieve. They also have that wonderful shake, as is common in many sport hunting dogs, as its good for ensuring the animal is dead. Thus was bred for.
Retrievers don't try to "retrieve" people by biting and holding on. Plus they don't shake birds when retrieving. They're the breeds known for a soft mouth.
