Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier?


What is the expected lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier (Krell, Mark Levinson, Anthem, Bryton, Pass Labs)? Is their any maintenance that can be performed to extend the lifespan of one of these amps?

My class AB amp is on 24/7.
I subscribe to the thermal cycle philosophy.
I don't consider the energy wasted, I'm in my living room almost all the time I'm home.
Next April, when my AC is on for the first time, I'll box it up & go to Class D amplification, for the Phoenix summer.
