I have a Sony STR-D565 Receiver. I bought new 5amp 125 volt fuses for replacement. After I power on the receiver the fuse keeps blowing. I've now had three fuses blow in less than five minutes.

No! the fuse you replaced was fine, the power transformer may be shorted, or the audio ouput semiconductors are shorted, check the speaker wires for shorts, if okay! I recommend a pro with a estimate.
This unit most likely has shorted output transistors. The unit is entering protect mode which will prevent further damage to the unit. Expect a parts cost in the $40 range for this repair.
If the word "Protection" is not flash in the display when this happens, then the receiver is in a tight area where it can't get enough air and is over heating. There are temp senosors on the heat sinks where the output transistors are mounted, and they will shut down the power supply in an overheat situartion, but the protecting indicator shold flash. Blow some air over the receiver and see if that stops the problem.
You could have a shorted winding in the power transformer. The diodes in the power supply can be shorted. Filter capacitors can short and send power to ground which will blow the fuse.
