I've had my amps on the floor or short stands since about 1979. This is a natural and tidy place for them when using long interconnects and short speaker wire.
In my experience, a slab of butcher block plus footers are superior to amps flat on the floor. Sound Anchor is a step up from nothing or the butcher block and Grand Prix amp stands are the best I've experienced.
GP is the most expensive, but considering how much they improved my system I feel they are worth it. If you have a chance to try the GP, be sure you have the correct damper pads. Pads on the GP are rated for specific size and weight equipment and greatly effect performance.
