Although their simple local rules often result in structureless static properties, their dynamics exhibit intricate emergent phenomena. In this work, we investigate monitored quantum circuit models that interpolate between classical stochastic and unitary quantum dynamics. For any finite measurement strength, the measurement records provide an experimentally accessible probe of the emergence of dynamical phases. By interpreting space-time resolved records as microstates of a fictitious 1+1D spin system, we employ thermodynamic concepts that allow us to investigate the dynamical coexistence between an active and inactive phase. We combine insights from classical stochastic dynamics and numerical simulations of monitored quantum dynamics to investigate different signatures of this dynamical phase coexistence as the measurement strength is varied. Our results shed light on the persistence of dynamical phase coexistence in the quantum regime, offering insights into future experimental studies of complex many-body dynamics in quantum simulators.
