This is an interesting point; unfortunately though, the answer which usually comes to mind to the question "how much do you love me ?", is indeed "a lot"..
I don't know.. Maybe perhaps something like {jIHvaD vItlh'a' parmaqlIj ?}. But again, even if this works, it still requires a noun to serve as subject for the {vItlh}.
Assuming we're talking about parmaq, this isn't too bad, but it doesn't ask how much? Rather, you might ask a question like this: parmaqmo' jIHvaD nuq Data'qang? What are you willing to do for me out of romantic-aggressive love? Or you might ask for a description instead of a quantity: parmaqlIj yIDel Describe your love!
If we're talking about some other kind of love, we have to agree
to treat muSHa' as meaning love. The noun form is
muSHa'ghach. A person, of course, is bang. Then you
can say things like chomuSHa'mo' jIHvaD nuq Data'qang and
chomuSHa' 'e' yIDel.
