I have a surround sound amp for the TV. It now has a powered sub and a Google Chromecast which I would like to only be powered up when the amp. Is on. Is there any kind of current sensing 4 block socket that would switch 1 or several sockets based on the current going up from standby on the main item.

Have a look for ‘Intelliplug’

If the amp has a USB port just plug the Chromecast into it. It should also have a 12V connector for triggering other devices.
I'd leave the Chromecast permanently on anyway, that's how they're designed to work.
