There are several hooks in get_the_post_thumbnail for example
begin_fetch_post_thumbnail_htmlend_fetch_post_thumbnail_html
/wp-includes/post-thumbnail-template.php
You could add a function to one of these actions which removes your filter on first run.
If you need further help with this please add some code how you filter the_content.
