Patch 8.0.0641 introduced a separate highlight group for the quickfix line, called QuickFixLine. With patch 8.0.0653 this group is linked to the Search highlight by default, because for some color schemes the colors chosen for patch 8.0.0641 did not work well.

So if you have a current version of Vim you can use

 hi QuickFixLine cterm=None ctermbg=256 guibg=#ffff00

to make the current line in the quickfix window more distinguishable.
