And just have the ascii armored text of the secret key as the passphrase for the symmetrically encrypted text?

There still needs to be a way to 'enter' it as the 'passphrase'.   If the OP doesn't mind saving it in a file-decsriptor way, that would work,
but it would work the same as the secret key had a passphrase, or even if it was an unpublished public key.
