I have a relatively large (11 drive) server that operates 24/7.

It really doesn't need to, though.  Use is sporadic at best; the purpose

So what I'm wondering, is do we have auto-spin-down, power save features
available & STABLE?  This thing sucks down a lot of power, giving me a
bunch of heat in return :-)

I'd be concerned about premature disk failure from cycling the drives up
and down, which could end up being more expensive than your power bill.
