In Jerusalem the cock crowed and the echo was so loud it bounced off the wall signalling the hour was at hand

My comment:

I think in this sense amplificado por la hora means signalling the hour or signifying the hour

Amplified because of the hour (of the night)

My comment:

Noise is not really amplified during the day as it is in the night. Jesus told Peter : 'this very night, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times."

amplified by the timing

My comment:

I believe it has a double sense of early hour and final time (for Jesus), one the meanings of "hora".
This is my suggestion in trying to keep both meanings.
Good luck.
