The DC issues are two different things.
DC on your power (110VAC or 220VAC) causes mechanical vibration in the transformer, and otherwise rarely has ill effects.
DC on the input terminals (RCA or XLR) is different. Ideally there is none, or very little (millivolts). Amplifiers which are "DC coupled" can pass DC from the inputs to the speakers, which could be over 100V DC. More than enough to fry parts. They use a servo to adjust and stop this. And this works within range, but after a while the DC offset in the signal from the source (CD player for instance) is too great and the amp instead disconnects. It sounds like this input DC is what's happening, instead of DC on the power.
