possible things to consider:
1) the GB solvated system is much smaller, so larger fluctuations are
expected (check
a stat mech book)
2) you are calculating energies with a different energy function than
you used to
generate the simulation. It is entirely possible that the energy
fluctuations for the
trajectory from explicit water differ from what you would get if you
used structures
that were actually sampled in the GB model.
3) the ele in the explicit water includes solvation, and the GB one does
not.
it is well known that these terms tend to fluctuate in the opposite
direction
so leaving the solvation energy out will give higher fluctuations.
