All the modern amps I know of need only 240V, so I had four 240V 20A 
3-prong outlets installed in a standard quad box. They're all on the 
same 20A circuit, which works for my SO2R operation because only one amp 
is transmitting at a time. For the rare occasions when I've hosted a 
multi-two contest, I've run an extension from another circuit in my shop.

I don't know that the 4-prong outlet is a "modern" standard, although it 
may be what is being widely used for big appliances that are the primary 
user of 240V in NA.
