There is another option -
Though this would require an Electrician (Licensed preferably), wire an outlet for 230 VAC and get a plug to match installed on the amp.
This will consume two 'standard' circuits from your incoming mains distribution panel. Yes the actual voltage may range from 228 - 240VAC, as us mains voltage is provided at 114 - 126VAC, however this should not be an issue, as the delta is less than 5%, and most mains vary closer to 10%.
The other issue is the 50Hz versus 60Hz on the AC frequency - this should not be a problem for an amplifier - could be a problem for a turntable or clocking device where the unit is relying upon the mains frequency for accuracy (generally a bad idea).

Happy listening,
