For most solid state amp circuit designs, the difference between power consumption with or without signal is insignificant, especially at normal room listening levels. If you have the SERVICE manual and have a tech friend, it would probably be possible to go inside and disconnect the power stages. The preamp stages use only a few watts of power or less but disconnecting the power stages may screw up the supply voltages. In electronics, ALL things are possible for those with enough time...!
