If what you mean is to control an *amplifier* then the other suggestions 
given here are good options.

However, if you are refering to a *receiver*, then you can control much, 
much more than the power via RS-232. Integra, Denon, Marantz, HK all 
offer serial control on their middle to upper range of receivers. Almost 
all of the boutique stuff like Lexicon, Mark Levinson, ADA, and Adcom 
have this capability as they are often put behind Crestron and AMX 
control systems. Some components can "speak" bi-directional as well.

Here is a very basic example:
