There are too many entities that require too many data that must be sent to

this is the first thing I would verify.

Subject: [hlds] Reliable Snapshot Overflow

Hi all,

For quite some time now I've been getting reports from clients saying
they're being prevented from joining my servers. They're being kicked
with this message. 'Disconnect: ERROR! Reliable snapshot overflow..'

Here's a pastebin link with my info in hopes that it's helpful.

The error is very prominent, and is preventing clients (Including
myself) from joining the server. From my understanding, and reading a
number of other threads on the list, the issue is present in TF2 as
well.

Thanks,
Kyle.

It's the number of entities in proximity, not necessarily the type. I run a mod called BuildWars, and on any given round there tends to be 800-1000 prop_dynamic_overrides spawned. Once the count starts to increase, snapshot overflows become increasingly common with 1500+ kicking at least 50% of the server until the map changes. This would be the extreme end of the issue - mods like Minigames and Zombie: Reloaded typically don't have near the number of props spawned, but they have enough entities in proximity to players (i.e. other players, moveable defenses, grenades, donator benefits like trails, etc) that it's enough to trigger the issue.
