Your electrical system should have no issues powering factory equipment, even with an aftermarket deck (which I power straight off the battery on a fused line personally), if the amp is stressing the system, then you need a cap. If the load is a concern, then the solution is to get a cap, not a gauge that tells you that you need a cap. You can check the status of your system with a multimeter if that's all you want to do.
Any my head unit has a 200 watt amp built in....

I still say get a DIN pocket, and just don't put crap in it if that is your biggest issue with getting one. You can get a CD case that would fit in there perfectly for example.

Your head unit is more like 60w RMS, 200W peak (which means nothing), plus it sounds like you aren't even using the internal amp since you have an external amp. Bottom line, if you don't need a cap, you definitely don't need a gauge to monitor your electrical.
