There are differences of opinion regarding sound quality issues, but
there's simply no denying that just leaving receivers etc on
continuously ages certain internal components and connections faster.
How long do you expect to keep an amp, etc?
Plenty of electronics - alarms, clocks, aerial and distribution amps etc -
in the home is on 24/7 and seems to survive ok.
Going a bit further, things like surveillance systems - including monitors
are expected to have a long and reliable life when used 24/7.
Your hypothesis is suspect - unless referring to some valve equipment, but
even then can have a very long life if well designed.
