LOL!  No, not quite.  But it takes more than just the Transporter to
trigger it.  Actually, I lied.  I've never tried to use the Transporter
to trigger it.  But a 7 X 110 W receiver at idle can just barely do it. 
It's surely not drawing 770 W at idle but there is some load there,
definitely a lot more than the Transporter.  I'll do some tests and
see, but I doubt it will trigger it.

Actually the receiver and TP is on the sensed outlet, the amp is on the
switched outlet so that it gets turned on when the receiver goes on. 
The only problem I've ever had is when you present a load close to the
trigger point, the relay may "bounce" on and off rapidly.  The last
time that happened it blew the amp fuse, a slo-blo fuse attached to the
mains before the transformer.  I believe this is because the amp's large
caps were just drawing too much power when you do that.

Unfortunately no surge protection on the amp in that configuration, but
from what I understand amps are not as easily damaged by surges anyway
