Something else to consider (perhaps?), alot of players assume that other players are thinking along the same lines as themselves (ie. in this case with villain.... he probably pot shoves flops that he misses & assumes you do as well).
I will often play a bit more conservatively vs. a spewy player like the one in your example (ie. I'd be 3-betting alot of villain's but this guy, even though I know he's opening wide, I'm more apt to just flat pre with stacks of this size (~40bb deep I'm assuming.... the blinds are at 80/160.. no?).
This way I've potentially got a 'big' hand that is a bit more concealed & increases my chances of villain bluffing off a bunch of his stack.  Also, I'm going to miss the flop 2/3 of the time & if I bloat up the pot, leaving myself a pot-sized shove left for the flop, I'm risking the potential of getting bluffed off the best hand when villain also misses.
Also, my stack is quite deep for this stage of a 45... & I don't think I need to be stacking off vs. the spewtard (ie. if I 3bet this big here... am I snap-calling if & when villain 4bet shoves?.... by just flatting a player like this I can avoid this).  (If it were later stages I'd be gladly calling off a 4bet shove w AK). 
That ^  said.... in reality the approach you took actually turned out far better.... as you were able to get villain to committ all of his chips while you were way ahead.  You can't get it any better than that.
