Perhaps a mood ring will help you determine when it's time to listen. :)
Seriously though, as you suspect, I believe the symptons you describe appear to be the symptoms of dirty or poorly treated AC coming into your home.
You've invested too much into your gear to not take full advantage of what dedicated circuits/lines and proper line conditioning can provide you.
If you did, you're system will consistantly sound far better than it could right now on it's best night.
BTW, the dedicated circuits/lines do nothing to clean the AC coming in from the pole. The dedicated circuits help isolate your system from noise generated inside the home as well as ensuring that your amp has the necessary juice for those loud and/or dynamic passages.
-IMO
