That is awesome this 200kg deadlift.
Hope to reach it too. Can you bring up deadlift like that in and of itself going through enough hst cycles?

@Mojo77

To be honest I haven't followed the HST programme for either squats or deadlifts in a very long time, I do tend to (and prefer) to deadlift in the 1 to 5 rep range as for me it has less of an impact on my CNS than 10 or 15 reps does as I try to deadlift 3 days a week

Yes, I see what you mean about volume. I do not rack pull or deadlift for 15 either. I do so for 10 and 5, but only twice a week.

I also meant, can you bring up your deadlift like that by just deadlifting and progressing the weight or do you need other assistance exercises to get to that level?
 
I only do deadlifts, I did for a while do good mornings after squats but that was too much for my lower back so in answer to your question I believe you can achieve 200kgs by deadlifting alone
