You need to specify the source tarball filename:

$ gpg --verify putty-0.62.tar.gz.DSA
gpg: no signed data
gpg: can't hash datafile: file open error

$ gpg --verify putty-0.62.tar.gz.DSA putty-0.62.tar.gz
gpg: Signature made Sat 10 Dec 2011 08:34:11 AM EST using DSA key ID 08B0A90B
gpg: Good signature from "PuTTY Releases (DSA) <putty-bugs at lists.tartarus.org>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 00B1 1009 38E6 9800 6518  F0AB FECD 6F3F 08B0 A90B
