Those inflated salaries are "unacceptable and unjustified", Mr Hunt has said in a letter to the chiefs of eight of the bodies.
Mr Hunt is also unveiling tough new rules on redundancy payments. He wants to ensure that the maximum pay level used to calculate redundancy packages for managers of NHS quangos is in future capped at £80,000.
Mr Hunt has warned the NHS against making the "same mistakes" as the BBC, which has been criticised for giving hundreds of managers six-figure salaries and pay-offs of up to £1million.
"We must not develop a culture where very high pay is normalised," Mr Hunt said in his letter. "I do not want the NHS to make the same mistakes as the BBC, where a culture of excessive pay and payoffs was tolerated for too long and damaged public confidence in one of our great national institutions."
Mr Hunt is reviewing the pay levels at all NHS arm's-length bodies. Bosses at the quangos are being told to assess the numbers of people earning over £100,000 and decide whether it is "appropriate and publicly justifiable".
The Health Secretary is considering limiting the number of managers in the organisations that can earn six-figure salaries.
He hopes hospital bosses across NHS England will follow suit and reduce pay packets across the service.
Almost 8,000 NHS hospital managers and consultants were paid six-figure salaries in 2012.
Mr Hunt said that while some high salaries are justified, they must be "the exception not the rule".
The Health Secretary also wants to "claw back" redundancy payments from managers of quangos who move to another NHS job within one year of leaving their position, up from the current 28 days.
Mr Hunt said that it is "critical" that large redundancy payments are in future "tightly controlled".
Sir David Nicholson, the outgoing NHS England chief executive, was heavily criticised over his £211,000 salary.
He announced plans to step down after sustained pressure over his part in the Mid-Staffordshire hospital scandal.
His successor Simon Stevens, a former advisor to Tony Blair, has volunteered to take a £20,000 pay cut and will draw a salary of £189,000. Mr Hunt has praised his decision.
Negotiations are currently underway about pay for NHS staff, with ministers waging war on "antiquated and unfair" systems of automatic pay rises, which give some staff up to nine per cent a year.
