The invention provides for a subject support assembly (125) for a magnetic resonance imaging system (100, 200, 300, 400, 500). The subject support is operable for supporting a subject (118) within an imaging zone (108) of a magnet (104) of the magnetic resonance imaging system. The subject support is operable for supporting at least one radio frequency amplifier (124, 124&prime；, 124&Prime；) outside of the imaging zone. The subject support is operable for supplying DC electrical power to the at least one radio frequency amplifier.
