You can use the key switch to operate a solenoid which can carry the power requirements of the system. That is of course the job of a qualified and licensed electrician to fit.

A correction I f I may, solenoids ain't much good for this. Don't need to move something. But a relay or contactor on the other hand... would be the control circuit I mentioned earlier. As for needing a sparkie, I think that it's a different case o'er in the states to what you and I know here...
Probably the best way to handle the power situation is to install a power sequencer, which turns on each circuit in order. Then simply install a key on/off switch instead of a regular switch.
Atlas/Soundolier (sp?) makes one, and I know a few other do as well.
