Post-flop is completely fine. You're ahead of a ton of his range. Remember that his range includes any two cards, so while he can have 76, he can also have any set and any two pair.
I agree that you should not be open-limping right now.
With that having been said, I'm extremely against MadMojoMonkey's advice of trying to never limp behind. Generally speaking, there aren't a lot of situations where you should limp behind a single limper (more on this below). However, once there are two or more limpers, that changes quit a bit, especially if you're in late position.
From late position, low suited aces, medium suited connectors and low pocket pairs are great examples of hands that would play much better with a limp if you're facing 2+ limpers than raising. Broadway hands and medium suited aces (say A8s+ or so), however, are good examples of the type of hands that you'd want to raise because they play much better when you're against a single opponent.
The point of raising after limpers is that you want to create a situation where you are heads-up on the flop as the aggressor. These situations are extremely favorable to you, and it's something that your stats in the other thread suggested you should work on.
However, if you can get in a multi-way situation with a limp in position with a low suited ace, middle suited connector or small pocket pair, then that's going to usually get more value than isolating.
With the exception of extremely nutty hands like QQ+, playing for high pair type hands benefits you the most when you're against a single opponent with small-medium stacks. Along similar lines, playing for hands that have little to no high pair value (eg: small PPs, small suited aces, middle suited connectors) play best multi-way with deeper stacks.
One last note: The one time you should be a little hesitant to isolate against a single limper is when a tight/aggressive player open limps from early position. You should take notes on what these players are limping with so you know if they're just limp/calling with small pocket pairs trying to hit a flop or if they're looking to limp/3bet to trap people. If you don't know how they're playing, go ahead and isolate them (ie: raise) to figure out what they're doing.
Cliff Notes: Isolate individual limpers like your life depended on it (except against taggs open limping from early position when you should be a little more careful), but limp behind multiple limpers with hands that make sense.
