I am just looking for a ball park figure. How many amps will a 50" plasma tv,
a 110 watts a channel 5.1 receiver (at moderate volume level), a powered sub, and a dvd player ask for?

Watts is actually a thermal factor (electrical engineering and design 101) which is a very long and ambiguous discussion. WHAT I think you are asking is WHAT is your total current draw from your system. In which case a standard 15 amp circuit should be more than enough to handle your system.
