NTSB said MAX thrust was recorded on the FDR. So one push doesn't make sense to me given what we know about the system.
Actually, max thrust is indeed commanded initially with the 767 TOGA switches and then thrust is reduced when a 2000 fpm climb is achieved. So, the thrust will not throttle back if you don't allow the nose to rise and you don't pull back or disarm the autothrottles.
