They are both correct in different contexts.
The first one is an assumption:
A: I can't believe how fast we got through customs.
B: We mustn't have take so much luggage. (Perhaps we didn't take so much luggage).
The second expresses regret:
A: We may need two taxis.
B: We shouldn't have taken so much luggage!

I agree with Pooneh in that the second sounds better. However, I would not use "taken". I would use "bought".
Example: - "We shouldn't have bought so much luggage.

I think the second sentances is correct, musn't is not common to use
