Too much of a good thing? (4)

orgy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'too much' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'a good thing?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'good' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ory' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orgy that I've seen before include "Wild revel" , "Excess" , "Excessive indulgence" , "Wild overindulgent party" , "A licentious immoral party" .)
