À propos de あまり
As a noun, あまり means 'excess', and refers to an amount of something that is in surplus. This noun is quite often used after many different types of words, to indicate that something happened/exists to an excessive degree (which then resulted in something negative occurring). By itself, 余り is not negative. However, this grammar point can be thought of as a set phrase that is generally used in negative situations.
To use あまり, you will need to attach it to the end of the following structures. A verb, an い-Adjective (that has been turned into a noun through the use of さ or み) followed by の, a な-Adjective followed by な, or a noun followed by の. Then, after あまり, a (B) phrase will highlight what the negative result was.
Caution
The tense of the overall sentence will be dependent on the first clause. Therefore, it is common to see the verb before あまり being used in several different tenses.

楽しみ is such a confusing word if you think about it too much. Dictionaries also list it as a noun in addition to な-adjective, and there are usages like 楽しみの一つ、楽しみのために、楽しみの方が that place it as a noun.
I think it has something to do with expectation of enjoyment vs just enjoyment in vacuum? But not sure.I’m just glad this sentence no longer uses 「楽しみさ」

So, the issue is that it is not a form of 楽しい, but a word on its own. How would that sentence have to look if we were to use 楽しい?

Interesting how this compares to ほど. It looks like they both have “to the extent that” meaning, and the only thing changing seems to be the order of the reason and the result clauses. Very convenient
苦しさの余り、大きな声を出してしまった。
大きな声を出してしまうほど、苦しかった。
