I have, though it's semi-prosumer equipment. The largest UPS systems for standard systems, like someone might want for a small home-lab rack, can be found with 20A 120V plugs that work in normal outlets; if they're on a 20A rated circuit like a kitchen refrigerator or bathroom sink outlet (the two most common sorts in rental units).
I suspect some beauty products might also use 20A, or in combination easily reach that.
