From the arithmetic: z=2y-x
From the geometric: z=y^2/x-2016
Setting the RHS of each equal and setting to zero gives
y^2/x-2y+x-2016=0
Which is a quadratic in y.
Solving for y gives y=x(+/-)x*sqrt(2016/x)
The (-) gives negative solutions
The (+) is easily searchable and the solutions are
(x,y,z)
(14,182,350)
(56,392,728)
(126,630,1124)
(224,896,1568)
(504,1512,2520)
(2016,4032,6048)
Since X+Y+Z=3Y these are in order.
The discriminant is asymptotic to zero and the last solution has discriminant 1 so this is the complete list.
On reflection, this could have been done analytically.

All solutions (spoiler)
