I just finished my second cup of coffee. Thus, I also just remembered that there are "intelligent" powerstrips, which is another solution I was looking into. With these powerstrips, there is a master outlet that dictates if the others are powered. So that if your receiver is plugged into the master outlet and turned on, then the other outlets on the powerstrip will also receive power. However, if you turn off the receiver then power to the other outlets on the strip is killed (and then the fan, etc, is turned off with the receiver or on with the receiver).
