I packed the same amount as the Subaru grease bottle that came with the kit - 130 grams. Is that excessive? So far (about 100 miles) there's no grease leaking out.
Edit: now that you mention it, the repair manual specifies 80-90 grams on the CV joint itself, and an additional 20-30 grams in the boot. I think I probably did less on the CV joint and more in the boot, but hopefully that'll even out when driving.
Note to self - thoroughly read the instructions in the repair manual instead of trying to figure stuff on my own...
