Related words 得とく 意い 顔がお 得意顔 also means a proud or triumphant look, but is more common and neutral. 所得顔 is rarer and often carries a stronger nuance of gloating or self-satisfaction.
勝か ち 誇ほこ った 顔かお A more explicit phrase meaning 'face of exultation/victory', stronger and more dramatic than 所得顔.
Etymology From the expression 所を得た顔, “the face of one who has found the proper place,” hence a self-satisfied or triumphant expression.
