The Niles SAS-1 + APC-2 combo would have done this. I say "would" because the SAS-1 is now discontinued, though you may find it still on eBay or Amazon.
RDL's (www.rdlnet.com) ST-ACR2 should work for the audio sensing portion. If the APC-2 is also unavailable, Xantech AC1 would work in place of APC-2.
The Niles AC-3 has power outlets and its description at nilesaudio.com lists several of teir products that can be used to trigger it. Maybe the site is up to date and one of those things will a) work from the signal you have and b) be available.

Bluesound Node2, Yamaha WXC50 - all similar products... but not Sonos, obviously.
This industry is not getting cheaper and cheaper, we're simply convincing ourselves that we have to push the cheapest option to customers. #makesonosgreatagain
If the goal is an amplifier turned on by audio, then audio sensing amplifier.
Niles SAS-1 is, indeed, discontinued.
Niles cs12v detects current difference between on and off states. I have no idea as to whether the difference between on and off on a Sonos is enough to register.... once the difference is detected, it activates a 110 volt outlet.
Sonos CONNECT is a line level audio output, network client, DAC/ADC device. The wireless is always active. Further, the Line-In might be active while the Line-Out section is inactive. I doubt that any current sensor could reliably detect that the Line-Out function is active or not. (By the way, the TOSLINK carrier light is always ON.)
Tell us how it works out before we all void our warranties.
Someone should have told that guy to RTFM because the Dayton amp has signal sense, 12V in AND out and if it's using signal sense, the 12V out still works.
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."
I was looking at some Global Cache accessories- one has a couple of contact closure options- just need a reasonably-priced way to trigger it.
It's too bad people are stupid enough that they would use the old convenience outlets for things that shouldn't be connected to them- those were great.

I use it most often with a temperature sensor to turn on the fans in the top of a rack and then extra outlets for accessories.
Aha! What's the temperature sensor you use? It's the thing that would liberate me from having to use ATM all the time.
