统统 ("all of it, the whole lot, without exception") reinforces 都: 时间、地点、人物、事件,她统统不记得. It goes after the subject, before the verb, and takes up a set already given, often an object fronted or introduced by 把: 把这些旧东西统统丢掉. The tone is emphatic and colloquial, frequent with a negative or a verb of disposal: 我们不得不承认这些材料统统没有价值.
唯独 ("only, the sole exception") picks out the single exception from a general statement: 全班同学都在认真听讲,唯独他在睡觉; 他什么都不在乎,唯独受不了家人的不理解. The first part states the general case (often with 都), the second names the one who stands out, whose behaviour goes the opposite way.
The two pair up well: 这些大雁统统按时飞走了,唯独那一只留在了湖边. Difference from 都 (hsk1-g14): 都 says "all" without stress, 统统 stresses that there is no exception, and 唯独 points to the one that does not fit the whole.
