The reference to the Grateful Dead notwithstanding, Onhwy 61's advice is good. I don't know how old your Rotel amp is, but after some years, capacitors can go bad and leak or fail.
This can usually be detected by just checking for leaks or swelling of the caps, being careful to let your amp set for a few hours unplugged. (high voltage is present in amps, that will dissapate in a few hours).
High operating temperatures contribute to early electronics failures, so keep your equipment clean and well ventilated.
Best of luck,
Dan
