Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis?
Many higher end preamplifiers come with separate power boxes, but I don't see amplifiers with separate boxes, any idea why this might be?

There are a few, but amplifiers aren’t usually as sensitive as preamps, so there really isn’t much nee for separate power supplies.
Pass labs does it in their XS series.
It's very expensive and as stated above not as necessary as in a preamp with very low level signals.
It comes down to the ratio of transformer noise to output signal: high on preamp, low on power amp.
