Double being take out has nothing to do with you being passed hand or not, it is take out. Coming from pass gives you more freedom to use take out dbl here, in regards to strength, but you have way more than that anyway. At IMPs you would probably bid previous round anyway if not at MP. Coming from pass, i would have doubled with the hand you posted even without

Here are some similar situations when I played yesterday with Sathya vs George Jacobs and Steve Beatty
We failed to dbl 2♠ for take out for +140 or possibly +300-500 if W competes, and defeated them in 2♠. I can not blame pd when he is playing with someone the first time and not sure about methods, this was also the first board of the game.
Not quite the same auction but basically the same thing. Of course it is more obvious when opponents bid and raise to play it for take out, when don't have any agreement. (We were EW this time because our opponents opened a new table to put vu graph deals)
