Somethings missing. You get 200+ backlinks a day so the 200 recipricals shouldn't make a dent in your backlinks profile.

Adding nofollow tags to outbounds will have no negative effect that I'm aware of.

Something else must have been done if indeed you're in a penalty and not in some temporary disappearance from serps.
