A Go-Around, whether mandated by ATC or due to approach instability, deep landing or a bounce is not, nor should it be considered an emergency manoeuvre! It is something we are all trained to do and should all be briefing before the instigation of the descent checklist. It comes under the Non Normals and that's it.
There is no reason to pull to the PFI's and the stick shaker. In fact, in this case if the evidence really does point towards TOGA mode not being engaged then pulling to the stick shaker would have exacerbated the situation! Especially on a 300 series where a baulked landing with a rapid pull up could well puncture the tail!
Add into the mix of pulling up to such high levels of climb then you have a greater possibility of busting your go-around climb limits particularly when they are set low, such as 2000' due to controlled airspace above. Remember the MAP is a mandated 'procedure'.
In the event where situational awareness has degraded to such a point that you are unaware of terrain around you and suddenly get an unannounced EPGWS pull up warning then yes, absolutely correct to apply max thrust, dump the speed brake and pull to the PFI's. A normal Go-Around manoeuvre, in controlled airspace above an airfield? Not necessary IMHO.
