The KML renderer only fetches approximately 8 icons per KML file, to avoid
overloading servers we don't control.  If you embed the icons inside your
KMZ you can render many more.

I cannot now find it, but there was a very similar recent post.  The
crux of the matter is that when you use kmlLayer, it is rendered as
tile images at google's servers.  There appears to be a limit to how
many different icon images can be rendered on one tile.  As you zoom
out and more placemarks crowd onto one tile area, you breach the limit
and get default blue lollipops for the 'excess' icons.

Circumventions :

don't use kmlLayer, there are alternatives like GGeoXml3 (with
performance tradeoffs)
or
don't use placemarks as labels, consider a <GroundOverlay>
or
don't use KML, render the data directly in the API as custom polys and
labels or markers
or
some hybrid solution
