The latest matefinder at http://chess.ultimaiq.net/stockfish.html is definitely worse than december version! But who has done it and where is all info??

37...Qe4 is winning according last stockfish dev ultimaiq bmi2.

However, it is interesting to see how engines will play out this engame with the sub-optimal move 37...Kf7 (second best move according stockfish). The advantage is still -1.10 in black's favour.

Jon, that the Black advantage is big enough to let a weaker hardware lose at 15'+15" doesn't mean anything. I saw lose SF with White at equal hardware against SugaR and against Houdini at 240'+30" 12 cores each.

In your game there are some suboptimal moves right from the start, I guess.
Latest but maybe not quite too late, after Forward- Backward and 7.f4 (?):

Evaluation: approximately -1.50
Dynamic eval gets about twice as high after some forward- backward to the position of your first diagram:
