I do understand in principle about tweaking every last little bit out.
On PVC I think you'll find those that don't like the sound of it as a dielectric... I wouldn't have a guess what they would feel about using PVC vs. a conductor for power conduits :)
I too have amps which can draw a lot of current: SimAudio Moon W-10 monoblocks each on their own dedicated circuit. Tho they only draw 48 watts at idle they can draw quite a bit since they are happy doing 2200 watts into 2 ohms. I'm sure I never push them anywhere near that hard but their instantaneous current draw can be large.
I have another similar compromise in my system. I have conduits embedded in the concrete floor for the left rear speaker, right rear speaker and to the sweet spot for my transport. (See my room renovation pictures: https://gallery.audioasylum.com/cgi/view.mpl?UserImages=7184&invite=194917041) I really wanted to get ceramic pipe for this purpose, but unlike years ago, there isn't much ceramic piping to be had these days. I gave up and put in PVC and chose a speaker wire for the rears which already has air dielectric, etc. (AudioQuest Mont Blanc) and power cords with thicker casing (Shunyata Taipan Alpha Helix.) I don't think I'm hurting too bad :)
