I'm bringing my bike in to the shop have this problem sorted but maybe someone here has some ideas well.

My rear tire occasionally becomes off-center when I put too much power into the pedals. The wheel is true. Like the entire wheel comes out of the dropouts and rubs the chainstay (opposite side of the chain) (is that still the chainstay?). It doesn't matter if I tighten the quick release like crazy or leave it a little loser. The bike is a steel frame so I'm not sure if the quick release skewer is the wrong size or the wheel hub is the wrong size. Everything looks fine and I've taken the rear wheel off other bikes hundreds of times. I'm at a loss.
