What appears in the postmaster log when this happens?

It would also be instructive to run "top" while you trigger
the problem, and see if there is obvious distress like the
server process's memory consumption ballooning.

It smells like a resource-exhaustion problem.  Which probably
shouldn't be happening on a machine with 128G RAM, but maybe
something is misconfigured to give up way below that.  In any
case, you'll never find the cause from the client side.
