Morphology
The core verb 'puke' directly denotes vomiting and the addition of 'guts' + 'out' creates a vivid image of ejecting internal organs, so a learner who knows the words can infer it means to vomit violently or in large quantity. However, this is a crude metaphorical intensifier rather than a literal, compositional phrase, so the exact force and vulgar nuance may not be fully predictable without exposure.
Etymology
The verb puke guts out may come from the strong image of a person puke-ing so hard that their guts seem to come out. That's why it means 'to throw up with great force'.
