2-4 Litters.

The previous poster is partially incorrect.

In humans, the stomach has a relaxed, near empty volume of about 45 ml. It is a distensible organ. It normally expands to hold about 1 litre of food,[4] but will hold as much as 2-3 litres (whereas a newborn baby will only be able to retain 30ml).

The reason you can often eat more is some food is already being digest / passed through to the small intestine as you eat.
