I have a wide, low rack between my speakers with heavy tempered glass
shelves on rubber washers on a steel and wood open frame. Works great,
no vibrations whatsoever. I got it for $120 from BJ's, hah!
I have one window (out of five) that vibrates/rattles at some low bass
frequencies. I have a 31.
If (if) you're worried about vibration then consider having the
equipment away from the loudspeakers e.g. behind the listening
position. (If you're using dipole speakers between the speakers is
probably fine though - they don't radiate sideways much.)
I have experienced vibrations making a differ

There is no typical amount. Its what is needed for the specific Amp IE
is it Class A or Class D, because there is a big difference between
what is needed air wise. How many watts? External or intern

I find that heavy hifi stuff with rubber feets damps the glass shelves
pretty good, from emitting any sound.
yes you can hear furniture but by acoustical means not only the hifi
