Unfortunately, I have no experience with QNAP devices.  The only NAS
device that I've ever played around with is a very old ReadyNAS
600...and I gave up on trying to run SqueezeCenter on that years ago. 
I assume you've used the 'Search this thread' tool to find all the
previous QNAP related posts?

Various folks have drifted through this thread asking your same
question...and then they've disappeared.  I don't know if it's because
they gave up...or because they got it working.  If the latter, I really
wish they had posted their recipe for others' benefit.

Anyway, there are a couple of different ways you can try to go about
this.  If the QNAP allows you root access via ssh to it's operating
system, then you can use PuTTY & WinSCP to do some spelunking. You'll
also have to pose some questions on forums devoted to your device.  

But basically, your task will be to:

1). Determine what user account the squeezeboxserver service runs under
on the QNAP.  On a regular linux distribution, SBS runs under the
account 'squeezeboxserver'.  If you can get ssh+root access to the
QNAP, you can try the command:

# ps -U squeezeboxserver

If that command lists processes 'owned' by the squeezeboxserver user,
then you're in business and 'squeezeboxserver' is the 'owner' and will
be the account name you'll give permissions to in sudoers.  But if no
processes are listed, then you might try a sort of reverse lookup:

# ps axu

Again, look for the SBS related processes and note the numeric ID of
the SBS process owners.  If you get an ID (e.g. 110, rather than a
name), then have a look in /etc/passwd and see if you can associate
that ID with an account name.

In any event, once you get the account name, you'll have the first
piece of the puzzle as to what will go in sudoers.  I'm not familiar
with the QNAP's sudoers format, but there may be examples commented out
in the file.

2). Your second task is to determine which commands actually effect
shutdown/restart/suspend/hibernation on the QNAP.  And there, you're
better off posing questions on a QNAP forum.

Good luck, and please do post your results back here.  Again, you're
not the first person to trod down this path.

PS: make a backup of your original, unchanged sudoers file first!  And
when attempting to modify sudoers, try using the 

# visudo

..command..if it's present on the QNAP.  visudo is the 'safe' way to
modify sudoers.  Any changes you make to sudoers by visudo get checked
for correct syntax before the changes are applied.  This is a good
failsafe.  If you're not familiar with 'vi', do a google search to get
a brief vi tutorial.  I find vi fairly counter-intuitive to use, so I'd
advise having a command reference handy.
