  In this work we introduce an extended version of the formalism proposed
originally by Taurines et al. that considers the effects of many-body forces
simulated by non-linear self-couplings and meson-meson interaction
contributions. In this extended version of the model, we assume that matter is
at zero temperature, charge neutral and in beta-equilibrium, considering that
the baryon octet interacts by the exchange of scalar-isoscalar
($\sigma$,$\,\sigma^*$), vector-isoscalar ($\omega$,$\,\phi$), vector-isovector
($\varrho$) and scalar-isovector ($\delta$) meson fields. Using nuclear matter
properties, we constrain the parameters of the model that describe the
intensity of the indirectly density dependent baryon-meson couplings to a small
range of possible values. We then investigate asymmetric hyperonic matter
properties. We report that the formalism developed in this work is in agreement
with experimental data and also allows for the existence of massive hyperon
stars (with more than $2M_{\odot}$) with small radii, compatible with
astrophysical observations.
