Your 20 amp circuit supplies continuous current to the receptacle. Your amp can output 60 amps "peak", very briefly. The duration of the "peak" 60 amps depends upon how much electricity is stored in the amplifiers power supply capacitors. Transformers unlike capacitors, do not store electricity.
The specs on your power conditioner state: Input - 15 Amp capacity required and Output - 11-15 Amps RMS (maximum, all outlets combined - continuous). The 45 amp rating is the peak current rating for the conditioner output which, just like your amplifier, depends on how much electricity is stored in its capacitors.
Adding the power conditioner will make peak current available to all of the components plugged into the conditioner. However, since your circuit is 20 amps and the conditioner input is rated for 15 amps, you are not getting the benefit of your 20 amp circuit.
You don't trip your 20 amp circuit breaker because the input of the both the amplifier and conditioner are designed to limit their current demand to 15 amps.
