You probably have more people coming in via TN3270 than it has available 3270 
virtual terminals defined. The parameters in the TN3270 server list, perhaps 
generically, VTAM LUs that it can use for TN3270 emulation. Once all of them 
are in use, no more TN3270 connections can be made until someone else 
disconnects from the TN3270 server and so frees up an LU. The TN3270 server has 
parameters. Examples from my z/OS 1.10 system:

TELNETPARMS
    PORT 3023  ;
    CODEPAGE  ISO8859-1  IBM-1047
    FULLDATATRACE
    INACTIVE 28800
    PRTINACTIVE 600
    TIMEMARK 600
    SCANINTERVAL 120
    SMFINIT TYPE119
    SMFTERM TYPE119
    LUSESSIONPEND
    ; Define logon mode tables to be the defaults shipped with the
    ; latest level of VTAM
  TELNETDEVICE 3278-2-E NSX32702
  TELNETDEVICE 3279-2-E NSX32702
  TELNETDEVICE 3278-3-E NSX32703
  TELNETDEVICE 3279-3-E NSX32703
  TELNETDEVICE 3278-4-E NSX32704
  TELNETDEVICE 3279-4-E NSX32704
  TELNETDEVICE 3278-5-E NSX32705
  TELNETDEVICE 3279-5-E NSX32705
;   WLMCLUSTERNAME TN3270E ENDWLMCLUSTERNAME
ENDTELNETPARMS
BEGINVTAM PORT 3023
    ; Define the LUs to be used for general users.
  DEFAULTLUS
    DCCVDTAA..DCCVDTAZ..FFFFFFAA
  ENDDEFAULTLUS
  LINEMODEAPPL TSO ; Send all line-mode terminals directly to TSO.
  ALLOWAPPL TSO* DISCONNECTABLE ; Allow all users access to TSO
              ; applications.
              ; TSO is multiple applications all beginning with TSO,
              ; so use the * to get them all.  If a session is closed,
              ; disconnect the user rather than log off the user.
  ALLOWAPPL *      ; Allow all applications that have not been
                   ; previously specified to be accessed.

;   Map Telnet sessions from this node to display USSTXBSC screen.
    USSTCP USSTXBSC
;
ENDVTAM

The above requires a VTAM defination for LUs DCCVDTAA..DCCVDTAZ - 26 LUs. We do 
this with a major VTAM node similar to:

D08ACCES VBUILD TYPE=APPL         APPLICATION MAJOR NODE
*
D08VDTA? APPL  ACBNAME=DCCVDTA?,  TCP/IP VIRTUAL TERMINAL DEFINITION   +
               MODETAB=MODETABP,                                       +
               VPACING=1,AUTH=(VPACE),EAS=10

This is a very stripped down example. But the 27th attempted concurrent 
connections would get your message because all the 3270 LUs are in use.
