so pray they blow off your arm in that same 3 volleys of lrm 15

3 x LRM 15 is only a possible 49.5 damage. So - it can blow off the arm or a medium mech, if EVERY MISSLE hits it, which won't happen. (not quite on a 55 ton medium - with max armor that would take 54 damage)

I'm pretty certain that the Atlas's 94 front armor is already doubled.

it can absorb double the amount of damage from the armor value.

The armour can't, but the location itself can (almost): It has 62 Internal Structure, and can take 124 points of armour (distributed front and back).

So the stock AS7-D's frontal CT can take 94+62 = 156 damage before it's completely destroyed.

Edit: The max amount of armour a location can take is 2x its Internal Structure value; or put another way the value of a location's Internal Structure is half the max amount of armour the location can take.
