Well, seems it does in most AV receiver makes, because the manufacturers provide them mostly with one single power(ful) supply, there are some Yamaha models with a separate (low) power supply just for the video (HDMI-related) circuitry, they can achieve just 2-3W in standby with HDMI-CEC... Anyway, it's an issue one shouldn't take for granted and meet with decent skepticism, rather measure at the power outlet in the given situation. The manufacturers are not likely to specify this in their data sheets or manuals. Some models allow you to setup HDMI-CEC only for the ARC from the TV and let power control or HDMI passthrough disabled. But the latter two are also nice to have, unfortunately they come at such cost...
