Yea, as you said, don’t plug the amp into the back of a receiver. Those sink enough amps to power things like DVD/CD players, not audio equipment.

If its not a huge amp it should idle \< 35W so it won’t really cost anything to keep it on. I understand where you are coming from tho. An AC relay is a good bet. You can get a 15A relay for decently cheap.
