You apparently are running into a limit of your filesystem.
amrestore has put about 1.6Gbyte of data into gzip to decompress
and then gzip complained with "File too large" for it's output.
You probably hit the 2 or 4 Gbyte limit of some filesystems.

As a workaround, try:

   amrecover -p ... | split -b 1024m

It will produce files named xaa, xab, xac,... each 1 Gbyte in size.

To manipulate the files with e.g. tar, do:

   cat x?? | tar -tvf -
