Morphology
The meaning "a very large or significant achievement" is directly and transparently derived from combining "huge" (very large) with "success" (an achieved result). This simple adjective + noun composition follows common cross-linguistic patterns and would be obvious to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Huge success paints a picture of a win so big it fills a room or a stadium. Here huge means 'very big' and success means 'a good result', so the phrase means a very large or important win.
