When equipment is new it generally sounds pretty lame. As it breaks in for 25 to 100 hours the sound transforms. Lots of boutique shops dread the fact that you are likely to return a new purchase because it sounds like kitty litter....so they tell you it is best to leave it cooking all the time.This is the ultimate electronics urban legend.
Once the dielectric potentials are established in your equipment then it is fine to turn it off whenever you want. Power up takes less than 60 seconds for most equipment to be able to play full volume from start up. Only tubes require time to reach an optimal temperature and mine generally hit that point in 20 minutes.
So save your energy. There is really no reason to leave the power on once the break in period has been achieved.
I will duck now while all the arrows and mud slinging comes my way.
