Thanks so much for all the feedback!
I have taken the cover off to take a look inside, but I don't see anything immediately wrong or smell anything out of the ordinary.
I do have a large power cable, and I tried re-seating it both in the unit and in the wall. It didn't stop the issue.
I haven't added any equipment, but this is 100% something wrong inside the unit. I really wish I could post the video! That would make what I'm trying to describe much clearer.
I've found a place in Chicago that said they work on Krell equipment. It's about a 75 minute drive, so that will be preferable to sending it off via freight both from a cost and a potential damage standpoint.
I will not be turning it on again.
I don't know if the forum will allow me to post a link, but I'll try. Here is a video of the issue:

Issue with Krell KSA-250
Hello-
It's been a minute since I've been on the forums here, but I'm glad they are still around!
I am the second owner of a Krell KSA-250 amplifier. For the past 10 years it hasn't given me any problems. Then today, when I turned it on, it emitted a rather loud buzzing sound. This wasn't coming from the speakers (like a ground loop hum), this was a very startling almost "mechanical" buzz sound. The buzz does not stop until I turn the unit off.
I'm not sure where to start. I called my local audio repair store, but they don't work on Krell. They suggested I contact Krell, which is my next step, but seeing as I'd have to freight this for it to be repaired, I'm hoping someone here might shed some light on what's happening. I've made a short 15-second video of the issue, but I don't think I can upload it here. I'm happy to provide it though.
Any thoughts you might have would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Blake
