Hi,
One who is fulfilling a mitzvah by hearing another person's blessing, such as for kiddush, should not respond Baruch Hu uBaruch Shmo during the blessing. However, having done so, one has fulfilled his obligation. This is because some authorities do permit responding Baruch Hu uBaruch Shmo, and because reciting the blessing a second time would be inappropriate if it were unnecessary.
(Rivivot Ephraim 1:193)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

"Baruch Hu uVaruch Shmo" during Birchat Kohanim
Hi,
Many Ashkenazim do not respond "Baruch Hu uVaruch Shmo ברוך הוא וברוך שמו" when hearing the Name of Gd during Birchat Kohanim, lest that disrupt the concentration of others. Those who do recite this response should do so quietly.

Birkat Kohanim
Hi,
It is clear that kohanim are obligated to offer a blessing in Birkat Kohanim (aka duchening); according to some, the non-kohanim present are obligated to remain present and accept that blessing.
Even according to the view that non-kohanim are obligated to accept the blessing, the opening berachah (אשר קדשנו בקדושתו של אהרן) is only upon the mitzvah of the kohanim, and not of the rest of the minyan. Therefore, the listeners could, theoretically, say "Baruch Hu uVaruch Shmo" in their response to the berachah, without that response constituting an interruption. However, we avoid this lest their be any disturbance at all in the course of Birkat Kohanim.
(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 3:17)

Baruch Hu uVaruch Shmo
Hi,
Answering 'Amen' is obligatory, but answering 'Baruch Hu uVaruch Shmo' is not obligatory. Therefore, one may not use the 'Baruch Hu uVaruch Shmo' response during Psukei d'Zimra.
