That wouldn't cause a penalty - Google would just filter out dupes. It could affect your internal pagerank flow however. But I seriously doubt that could affect your rankings so drastically.
FIrst thing I'd do is scan your site for any compromise - look for outbound links to bad neighbourhoods. Also use the google cache for this, as some compromises are very crafty and only show to Googlebot.
Next thing is check your backlinks - see if you've lost any powerful authoritative backlinks. I took a quick view, but mainly blog comments.
It could be algorithmic, or it might just be a SERP burp - wait a little time and see if rankings return.
One last thing - have you had any site outages?
