No, but you can get a "smart" surge protector. You plug the TV into the "main" or "master" slot, then plug the Roku into one of the "controlled" slots. Then, when you turn off the TV, it will cut power to the Roku a second or so later.
The disadvantage is that the Roku will have to boot up again when you next use it, so it's not as fast as leaving it on.
Edit: I just looked online and I'm seeing a lot of new surge protectors and power strips being called "smart" because they have wifi or voice assistant compatibility; that's not what you want for this. The important feature for you is the "master" and "controlled" outlets.
I don't have experience with these specific models, but these list the features:

How much power was the DJ Pre II pulling? More than an alarm clock?
Would a power managed power strip have worked in your setup? When you shut off your receiver it cuts power to the managed outlets.
Or upgrade to a phono preamp with auto off. NAD Electronics PP 2e refurbished $120. Costs a lot more, but you should also get an improvement in sound quality.
Here's one example - https://www.amazon.com/Uninex-Controlled-Protector-Eliminates-Electricity/dp/B01D3VPJIA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1539785537&sr=8-5&keywords=master+control+power+strip
Notice in the pic the red plug - that is the master control outlet and when the power to what ever is plugged into that outlet is turned off the black outlets also turn off.
You're right that they are getting harder to search since all of them now have "Smart USB charging" so when you search smart power strip they all show up !! ( maybe try "Master Control power strip" )
My google-fu is failing me, but what about a Master/Slave power-managed surge protector?? (Again, words are failing me, I'm sure there's a broad term for these types that I just can't come up with.) Something similar to this here:

I had one a few years back, I think it was a GE brand, it had: 1 "always-on" outlet, then a "master" outlet that, once the device plugged-in to it was turned-on, the powerstrip would allow the other plugs to have power.
With that in mind, you could keep the Xbox in the "always on," then plug the monitor into the "master" outlet, get a USB wall-plug for the fans and here's the clever part: with the Xbox set to turn-on the monitor (from the System Settings >Device settings), whenever you wake the Xbox out of its Instant-on slumber, the Xbox should turn on the monitor which in-turn would passively power the USB fans via the slave/master outlets. That should work, right?!?
Alternatively, you could go the higher-tech/more-investment way and control the USB fans via thermostat, this one runs for $40 while there's another one for $17. I have no experience with these though, but I suppose they work since there's an entire market for them (and they are mostly highly-rated FWIW).
