Where were you sitting? - I think I've experienced vibration towards the front of this aircraft as the brakes are applied to nosewheel before retraction. Similarly there is a centre wheel assembly that might do the same thing.

Remember that these days take offs are often de-rated to conserve engine life etc. So however heavy the aircraft was it might not change the perceived performance.

A340-300s in particularly are always leisurely.
