貯ためる
貯める is a general verb for saving or accumulating, while 溜め込む emphasizes hoarding or keeping things inside, often with a negative nuance of not letting go.
蓄たくわえる
蓄える is more formal and often used for storing resources for future use, without the negative connotation of hoarding.

Compound of 溜める (tameru, 'to accumulate') + 込む (komu, 'to go into' or 'to do thoroughly'), giving the sense of accumulating and keeping inside.
