You should be fine with those fish in your tank provided you have a decent filter!

4 Pygmy Cory are recommended in a group but I think it should be ok!

I'd up your pygmies to 6. IMO.

Size of tank seems OK, although no more fish for sure. Also, as stated, will need a decent filtration system.

In my experience, pygmy cories are happy in a pair or a trio. Slightly more so than their full sized relatives. We have a betta with 3 pygmy cories, and the little catfish seem very happy with each other, and shoal happily as a threesome.

I wouldn't advise one male and two female dwarf gourami, as when/if the male pairs up with one of the females, the other female could go through a torrid time of being bullied. They should ignore the pygmy corys though.
Certainly adding a couple more pygmy corys should not be a problem. Their biomass is so small, so the filter and tank should cope OK. I'd guess one dwarf gourami has the same biomass as about 10-12 pygmy cories, so just in terms of biomass, adding another dwarf gourami is a fairly large addition, whereas a pygmy cory is a very tiny one.
