I am looking for a device that will switch a 120VAC load using a 5V DC control signal. Anyone know of such a device?

It's called a relay. If you go to Digikey and plug in "Solid-State Relay", you'll get a bunch of sensitive, long-lasting items.
...and if you had the slightest idea what you were doing, you would have specified what *currents* you are dealing with.
You should also investigate the concept of "zero-crossing turn-on".
