Nagyon is "very" sokat is "much" as a direct object. Sokat tüsszentünk would work for "we're sneezing much" but not nagyon alone.
Would the amplifying sense of "nagyon" here be accurately conveyed by "We sneeze an awful lot"?
I guess this translation would be more formal than the Hungarian sentence suggests, but it's quite close in grammatical structure.
Given that "sokat" by itself means "a lot," I'd think that "great deal," which strikes me as a bit stronger than "a lot," would be quite a good translation of "nagyon sokat." See definition 1.

How would you say ¨We often sneeze?¨ Is that ¨Sokat tüsszentünk¨? we sneeze . "
Since "gyakran" means "often", I would think maybe it would be "Gyakran tüsszentünk"?
"tüsszentünk" or "tüsszögünk"? The latter verb is expressing repetition in itself. The former verb doesn't, so it needs an adverbial of quantity. And speaking of "tüsszentek", "sokszor" or "gyakran" should be preferred as adverbs instead of "sokat".
