I am able to sign and broadcast a tx for 100 GRLC, but not for 1000.

This happens when there are too many UTXO inputs for the transaction, I can't recall the exact limitations but this is the error you get when you reach them... this is due to mining paying it small amounts, to resolve this the best way is to send the largest amount you can to your own address to consolidate the UTXOs.
