In Gmsh's native post-processing formats you could just save the data at
the Gauss points, as a "Tensor Point" dataset. The disadvantage is that
you lose the "elemental" nature of the data (you really only have data
at points in space).

If that's a problem you could use the MED format
(http://www.code-aster.org/outils/med/), which supports Gauss points
directly as a type of data.
