The situation in which the magnitude of the total force is greater than the magnitude of each of the individual forces is:
Two people stand on the same side of a large box. One pushes, and the other pulls with the same amount of force.
In this case, the forces are acting in the same direction, so their magnitudes add together, resulting in a total force that is greater than the magnitude of the individual forces.
