I think one of the possible reasons why Hashirama is the only one in the Senju Clan who is able to use Mokuton is because Hashirama himself is only half-senju and half-Juugo's clan.
Take a look at this:
It's strange that Kishimoto did not give a name to Juugo's clan, as if he wants to build up suspense for a later revelation of their origins. Kabuto says that Juugo's clan possesses special bodies that enables them to passively absorb Nature energy.
Kabuto harnessed Juugo's cells so that he could stay perpetually in Sage Mode even when moving because it allows him to passively absorb Nature Energy.
I think this is the "experiments" along with Hashirama's cells that Kabuto was referring to when Madara asked him how did he know the "secrets of my body" even without the latter having the capability or access in reading the Uchiha Tablet:
We know for a fact that Orochimaru experimented on Juugo's cursed seals on his prisoners:
Though most of them were failed experiments, ending up wild and rabid.
Juugo in fact transforms when he becomes enraged, looking more like an animal than a human with darker complexion:
This could explain why Hashirama's complexion is darker than his brother and the other Senjus, Hashirama is constantly in a state of semi-sage transformation but without the side-effects of becoming berserk like Juugo
Because Hashirama himself is Half-Senju and Half-Juugo's Clan
Because Hashirama is Half Senju, his powerful Senju body allows him to resist the berserk state that Juugo and his clan possessed when in Sage Transformation. He absorbs Nature Energy passively like Juugo, and he is perpetually in a state of semi-sage transformation that makes his skin darker in complexion.
I believe Mokuton is a combination of nature-energy (Sage) and the user's Life Energy (Earth+Water Chakra) that converts the wielder's chakra as a source of life.
It would also make sense that since Mokuton is part-nature energy, it is capable of suppressing the Juubi which itself is comprised of Natural Energy:
And the Bijuus themselves were originally the combined entity of the Juubi (Bijuu Suppression)
Mokuton then (Nature Energy+ Earth/Water Chakra) would be able to create living things when the shell of the Juubi (Gedo Mazo) is used as a catalyst producing Zetsu Clones:
This could also explain the similarity between Mokuton and Juugo's Sage Transformation in the ability to create weapon-like appendages and protrusions from their bodies:
This could also explain the similarity of the repercussions of Mokuton and Juugo's Sage Transformation:
When the user of Sage Transformation cannot control its' power, they become berserk and feral:
When the user of Mokuton however loses control or is depleted of chakra, trees grow from their body parts:
This could also be the reason why the Six Zetsus inhabiting Sasuke responded to Juugo's Hermit Power of the Cursed Seal:
So in Conclusion:
Hashirama is probably only Half-Senju and Half-Juugo's clan (making him a half-brother only of Tobirama) the unique abilities of Sage Transformation allows Hashirama to passively absorb Nature energy, when combined with the life force provided by his Senju Body, he is able to mold nature energy with his earth/water chakra to produce Mokuton. Being a Senju enables him to negate/nullify the side-effects of Sage Transformation (going berserk) because he possesses the Senju's powerful body. Nature energy being the composition of the Juubi, allows Mokuton to suppress/control it because Mokuton itself is partly comprised of Natural energy. This could also explain why Hashirama is the only one among the Senjus who has Wood Release, it's because he is not full-blooded Senju and his mother probably belonged to the same clan as Juugo's who is able to use Sage Transformation. This would make Mokuton unique only to Hashirama.
