A month or so after I posed the question, I have a solution in place.
I've installed Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/) on a RPi4. HA has integration with LMS, allowing it to fetch the status of any players attached to the music server. I switched out the Amazon Smart outlets for similar device from TP-Link (Kasa Smart Plug Lite https://amzn.to/2ScvfJ8) These are also directly integrated with HA. A Home Assistant automation (basically a task) for each player (PiCorePlayer+ HiFiBerry+ RPI3) turns on the associated plug when it sees the player status change to PLAYING. Turns off the plug when the player status changes to OFF. A scheduled routine turns off all the powered speakers at midnight, just for good measure. So far it all works very well.
