In your GPO, remove "Authenticated Users" from the Security Filtering. Add each server name to the security filtering that you want to receive the policies and then link the GPO to your OU. Since you've got so many, you could create a group and put each server in the group. That way, you'll only need to add the server to the group to get the GPO.
