Ich danke dir von Herzen!


Explanation:
or: Ich danke Ihnen von Herzen! (if the person addressed is somebody you don't know that good/close.It is more formal,)

I think this translation is on the same emotional stage as the original sentence.

Another possibility: Ich danke dir/Ihnen ganz herzlich!

herzlich = warm, from the bottom of one's heart

The suggested "Danke vielmals" has a negative meaning, too. So, I wouldn't recommend it, because it can be misunderstood.

HTH,

depends on the emphasis


Explanation:
if it is "thank you SO much" with the "so" stressed quite heavily, then you might also want to say "Tausend Dank!".
