Dear Kurt,
good news, the FORTGTZONES parameter solved the problem. I didn't use it
first, because there is only one target zone existing. But in some way,
similar to what is described in APAR IO04020 there must be some more
other FMIDs in GLOBAL, I didn't check for the details yet. So because
there are in fact no PTFs in this (non-existing) target zone, SMP/E
tries to collect ALL PTFs for these FMIDs, which leads to such a large
amount of data. When I use the FORTGTZONES parameter, everything works
as expected. From my point of view, from now on we will always use
FORTGTZONES in future, because then we're sure not to receive unwanted
PTFs for any additional (unused) FMID in GLOBAL zone.
Thanks again for your comment.

Correct. FORTGTZONES however can be used to limit the scope of the
order, but this is only helpful if you have several different target
zones managed from your global zone. For your z/OS global zone, you
may only have one target zone, therefore, FORTGTZONES may not help.
So again my question is, is it possible to identify the very large PTFs
somewhere to order them seperately?
Unfortunately no, it is not possible for you to identify the culprits.
I dare say even for IBM it would not be a simple task to identify the
very large PTFs in your order. Certainly its not something Level 2
can manage, and they would need to find the right people at the
production center to manually gather that information.
In any case I agree with others that you should try to receive Java
PTFs separately, maybe also WebSphere/MQ if you have that, then try
RECOMMENDED again.
