Are we talking about driving an amplifier from the antenna lead or are we
talking about switching on an amplifier's turn-on circuit from the antenna
lead?

Clearly the amplifier needs more current than the antenna lead can supply,
but the antenna might supply enough current to activate the amplifier's
turn-on circuit. I always just run a wire for turn-on from the head unit to
the amplifier.
