A normal refinish job takes off about 1/32". Unless the gouges are really bad I'd just let the sander take off what it does and let the rest be character. Or putty them and do the same...
I'd also really look into having the floor done professionally. While it's not that difficult, the effort of renting everything and ensuring a good finish is well worth the money. We had a single room done by a local guy for only 400 bucks a few years ago. Well worth it...
