I've looked at this amp, it has no IR input, but it has a "comms" link.
After a quick tour, it looks there is enough info and perhaps even
ready-made software necessary to 'craft a communication cable'
(http://www.meridian-audio.info/public/5serleads%5b3580%5d.pdf) and
'implement a control app (see p. 49+)'
(https://www.meridian-audio.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/MConfig-Guide.pdf)

I don't know if anything like an SB plugin for Meridian exists, is
trivial or not. But this I know: IR control provides no feedback, and
usually power on/off is a toggle. So it is extremely easy -and
irritating- to entrer the state where Transporter/SB3 and amplifier are
out of phase, with one powered on and the other powered off. No way out
except by using the amp remote to resync its state. 
A protocol that gives positive feedback on actions or the current amp
power status is much preferable.
