There's a MaxStartups parameter in /etc/ssh/sshd_config that limits 
the number of unauthenticated connections. It defaults to 10.

Try increasing it and see if it fixes the problem. I don't think it's 
a good idea to indiscriminately increase this parameter, but it may 
help you diagnose what's going on.
