Having worked alongside recruiters in a firm that placed mostly IT roles for Wall St firms back in ~2005, the highest compensated made a little over 200k while the median was somewhere between 80 and 100k. I would think your typical recruiter makes between 60k and 80k.
As an aside, the firm changed the comp structure because of that 200k recruiter. She was terrible at her job but adept at shoving unqualified candidates into roles. She made great money but seriously tarnished the reputation of the firm during her time there.
